Flash reader thingy by Replicarter on 06-28-2005 at 05:20 PM

Ok, a little strange but if there any program that could look into a piece of flash on a webpage and display some sort of vaulues for it? So you can say, see the winning blocks on a flash game?

Flash, when its a swf is more or less locked via coding, you could use a flash catching program to 'catch' it and take a look, but as far as i know as an swf it isnt possible

I don't think you understand what he means.

He wants to find some winning blocks on some type of puzzle game I think.

Chances are,  that the blocks are dynamic. If they aren't, then you could use a flash decompiler that breaks it down into lots of different files, and there should be something like "winning block" or something, but I don't know whether there is a decompiler, try searching google.

Well actualy, its so i can know where all the mines are on msns Minesweeper game. Also, is there any program that can see whats on screen and pic out shapes and click them automaticaly? So i could use it with Bejeweld?

yea... excellent program to view swf's actionscript and even catch objects within... but as for the author of this thread - i'm quite sure that games can and will use different databases, encryption and other methods to protect the source...
to sum up, i doubt you can access the information you specifically wanted...

SWFDecompiler

And to the author, why on earth would the mines be hardcoded? They're dynamically placed at the time the game is played, and they would be stored in memory, not the .swf file.

To Segosa, i have no idea, the word "thingy" in the title is an indication i know nothing about flash and im just looking for a way to cheat at minesweeper.
