XRay Viewer

A lot of the time a designer gives me a swf, and I want to know how they structured it. I have two options.

1) Open up the Flash IDE and explore it
2) Add an instance of it to my project, and then use XRay to explore it.

Now, I have a third option. I can open it up in the XRayViewer AIR application I just put together and then use XRay to look through it.

XRayViewer.air

All this little app does is host the XRay connector and let you load a local swf (File->Open). Then it displays the swf with some simple controls to play/stop/advance/back.




But the real power is you can go off to the XRay interface and look through that loaded swf!

  • Is it supposed to work with AVM1 movies ( AS1/AS2 files)

    I get:

    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at XRayViewer/XRayViewer::onLoaded()

    when I try to view a v7/v8 file in your app.

  • Very good feature! So, no surgery needed with compiling the Xray Connector in my app. AWESOME.
