====== Flash And Actionscript ======
ActionScript is **executed** by the **ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM)**, which is **part of Flash Player and AIR**. ActionScript code is typically compiled into bytecode format (a sort of programming language that’s written and understood by computers) **by a compiler**, such as the one **built into Adobe® Flash® CS4 Professional or Adobe® Flex™ Builder™**, or that is available in **the Adobe® Flex™ SDK**. The bytecode is embedded in SWF files, which are **executed by Flash Player and AIR**.
===== Understand Flash and Flex =====
What is Adobe Flex? Like Flash, **Flex creates SWF files that are rendered by Flash Player**. However, **Flex is primarily a developer's tool** and the way you develop Flex applications is entirely different than the way you develop Flash RIAs. All Flex development is **based upon a framework that provides you with reusable and extendable UI components**, data retrieval services, **event handling functionality and much more**. You can create RIAs in a familiar code-centric environment, but you **still reap the benefits of Flash applications, which include**:
  * The ability to design and implement human-centered user interfaces without worrying about browser limitations.
  * A runtime environment with almost 100% deployment to all Internet users.
  * The powerful ActionScript programming language.
  * The ability to integrate rich media like streaming video and sound.
In comparison, the Adobe **Flash** Authoring environment revolves **around a timeline metaphor and visual development tools**. Because of this emphasis, and despite the evolution of Flash's programming language, ActionScript, into a fully object-oriented ECMA-4-compliant language, **Flash has traditionally been seen as a designer's tool for creating animations**. Over the years, many programmers have learned the benefits of using Flash to create powerful RIAs, but others have found the IDE to be difficult to understand.

You should note that **Flash and Flex can work together**. As a matter of fact,** Flex can work directly with other products in the Adobe Create Suite**, as well. **Designers and programmers can easily "create" in their own environments** and then **integrate their work to establish an entirely new breed of RIAs**.

Summary: **Flash** is better suited for **making movies and animations**. **Flex** is better for **application development**.

===== Flash to run on Android, IOS, HTML5 =====
Some technology:
  * Haxe + OpenFL: https://github.com/openfl/openfl-js
  * MonoGame + Xamarin (C#), or other 2D engine in C# for mobile?
  * LibGDX + robovm (Java)
  * or AIR? It's slowly (seems).
Recomended to use Haxe + OpenFL:
  * Haxe: http://haxe.org/ -> Haxe is a language based on ActionScript. With Haxe, you can easily build cross-platform tools targeting all the mainstream platforms natively.(Refer [[http://haxe.org/documentation/introduction/compiler-targets.html|haxe target]]
  * OpenFL: http://www.openfl.org/ -> uses the familiar Flash API, but goes everywhere that Flash Player cannot. 

===== Compile and run =====
Before an ActionScript program can be executed by a Flash runtime, it must be converted from human-readable ActionScript 3.0 code to a condensed, binary format that Flash runtimes understand, known as ActionScript bytecode,or ABC. The process of converting an ActionScript program to bytecode is known as compiling the program.

==== Developing AIR applications for mobile devices ====
The Adobe® AIR® runtime **enables developers to package the same code into native apps** for Windows and Mac OS desktops as well as **iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet, and other Android™ devices**, reaching the mobile app stores for over 500 million devices.

**AIR applications** on mobile devices are **deployed as native applications**. They use the application format of the device, not the AIR file format. Currently AIR **supports Android APK packages and iOS IPA packages**. Once you have created the release version of your application package, you can distribute your app through the standard platform mechanism. For Android, this typically means the Android Market; for iOS, the Apple App Store.

You can use the AIR SDK and Flash Professional, Flash Builder, or another ActionScript development tool to build AIR apps for mobile devices. HTML-based mobile AIR apps are not currently supported.
==== Run swf file ====
ActionScript programs can be executed by three different software applications (all produced by Adobe): Flash Player application, Adobe AIR, Flash Lite, or browser with Flash Plugin

  * Find class name **ddt.manager.SocketManager** in asasm file by find string **ddt.manager:SocketManager**
===== Basic Developing =====
==== Compiler Restrictions of Main class ====
When compiling ActionScript programs with the Flash authoring tool, FlexBuilder,or mxmlc, bear in mind the following compiler restrictions:
  * The program’s **main class must be public**.
  * In FlexBuilder 2 and mxmlc, the program’s main class must reside in the unnamed package.
  * The **program’s main class** must **extend either Sprite or MovieClip**
  * Every ActionScript source file (.as file) in the program must have exactly one externally visible definition. An “externally visible definition” is a class, variable,function, interface, or namespace that is defined as either internal or public within a package statement.
  * An ActionScript source file’s name must match the name of its sole externally visible definition. For example, the following source file would be considered illegal because it con-tains two externally visible classes:<code actionscript>
package {
  public class A {
  }
  public class B {
  }
}
</code>Likewise, the following source file would be considered illegal because it does not contain any externally visible definition<code actionscript>
class  C {
}
</code>
==== Event handling ====
Registers an event listener object with an EventDispatcher object so that the listener receives notification of an event:<code actionscript> addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void
</code>
  * Listener function defined as a class method<code actionscript>
package
{
    import flash.display.Sprite;

    public class ClickExample extends Sprite
    {
        public function ClickExample()
        {
            var child:ChildSprite = new ChildSprite();
            addChild(child);
        }
    }
}

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

class ChildSprite extends Sprite
{
    public function ChildSprite()
    {
        graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
        graphics.drawRect(0,0,100,100);
        graphics.endFill();
        addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
    }
    private function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
        trace("clickHandler detected an event of type: " + event.type);
        trace("the this keyword refers to: " + this);
    }
}
</code>
  * Or Listener function defined outside of a class<code actionscript>
dispatchEvent(event:Event):Boolean
</code> => Dispatches an event into the event flow(The same send message in windows). For example:<code actionscript>
dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
</code>

===== Debug variables and GUI with Monster debug =====
refer: http://www.monsterdebugger.com/

Below are some baisc debug methods:
  * Basic Debug:<code actionscript>
package {
 
    import com.demonsters.debugger.MonsterDebugger;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
     
    public class Main extends Sprite {
 
        public function Main() {
 
            // Start the MonsterDebugger
            MonsterDebugger.initialize(this);
            MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "Hello MonsterDebug!");
        }
    }
}           
</code>
  * Debug object class<code actionscript>
import com.demonsters.debugger.MonsterDebugger;
MonsterDebugger.initialize(this);
</code> => Will called before trace, It established connection with MonsterDebug Program
  * Debug variable<code actionscript>
var person:Object = {name:"Mike", age:25, gender:"Male"};
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, person);
</code>

To **Debug GUI**, You must select **View -> Highlight Inspect** after start the flash application and connect to MonsterDebugger
===== Flash Decompiler =====
notes: Before rebuilt the fla file from decompiler source, you need to change **source path** and **library path** to directory which contain actionscript source
==== Overview about Flash Decompiler tools ====
Analyze all decompiler tools:
  * ffdec and sothink similar source code structure
  * sothink create  fla file best
=== Old method ===
Below are steps decompile and fix:
  - Step1: Decompile fla file using trillix
  - Step2: Decompile action script using trillix and fix actionscript base on sothink and ffdec source
  - Step3: We can decompile the **swf file to flash or flex application**
=== New method ===
Below are steps decompile and fix:
  - Step1: Decompile swf file using **sothink** to get **fla file**
  - Step2: Using **ffdec** to decompile swf file and get **actionscript source**
  - Step3: Config to build only resources in fla file(remove classpath, librarypath, Main Class in current flash project) and build it as swc library
  - Step4: Config to build only actionscript in FlashDevelop and using GUI swc from step3 as library
  - Step5: Fix error can't import resources from GUI swf(create actionscripts from actionscript source which use actionscript from GUI swc)
  - Step6: Fix actionscript error by **comparing with actionscript source of sothink first**. If not be fixed, you must compare with source of trillix
==== Using ffdec ====
Download and Install:
  * download: https://www.free-decompiler.com/flash/download/
  * requires: java 8
  * content of ffdec.bat<code bat>
@echo off
java -Xmx1024m -Djna.nosys=true -jar "%~dp0\ffdec.jar" %*
</code>
Some basic command lines(To run it, we need run DOS as Administrator):
  * Display helps:<code>
ffdec.bat --help
</code>
  * Decompiler and read swf source:<code>
java -jar ffdec.jar filename.swf
</code>
  * Decompiler only **script**(actionscript) in swf file to source destination **src**:<code>
java -jar ffdec.jar -export script "src" filename.swf
</code>
  * Decompiler to get **fla** file:<code bat>
java -jar ffdec.jar -format fla:cs5.5 -export fla "src\filename.fla" filename.swf
</code>
