Open Source Media Framework (OSMF)

OSMF is a media framework by Adobe. Just as Flex has helped standardized RIA development, that’s what OSMF is to media, an AS3 framework to standardize the creation of media heavy experiences.

Free SWF Decompiler

This is probably the best swf decompiler for both AS2 and AS3 I’ve come across that’s free. You’ve got to do a quick sign up first.

HP SWFScan, a free tool developed by HP Web Security Research Group, will automatically find security vulnerabilities in applications built on the Flash platform.

We are offering SWFScan because:

• Our research shows that developers are increasingly implementing applications built on the Adobe Flash platform without the required security expertise.
• As a result, we are seeing a proliferation of insecure applications being deployed on the web.
• A vulnerable application built on the Flash platform widens your website’s attack surface creating more opportunity for malicious hackers.
• Decompiles applications built on the Adobe Flash platform to extract the ActionScript code and statically analyzes it to identify security issues such as information disclosure.
• Identifies and reports insecure programming and deployment practices and suggests solutions.
• Enables you to audit third party applications without requiring access to the source code.

Download this free tool to help your team find Flash vulnerabilities in your web applications.

Adding Parameters to addEventListener

Here’s how you can easily add parameters to an event listener in AS3.

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
	function(e : MouseEvent) : void
	{
		fMyFunction(e, "hello world")
	},
	false , 0 , false);

function fMyFunction(e : MouseEvent, vMsg:String) : void
{
	trace(vMsg);
}
