FAQ
Does ASV support Flash CS3 generated SWF files?
Flash CS3 supports AS3, which is totally different from AS2, runs in the new virtual machine Flash Player 9 has. ASV 6 will support AS3 and specifically Flash CS3 generated SWF files. As of this writing, a prerelease version of ASV 6 (with AS3 support) is available to all ASV 5 users.

Does ASV support Flex generated SWF files?
No. Current version 5 of ASV does not fully support decompiling actionscripts in Macromedia Flex 1 generated SWF files. Current version of ASV does not support AS3, actionscript decompiling in Flex 2 generated SWF files. As of this writing, a prerelease version of ASV 6 with AS3 support is available to all ASV 5 users.

When I double-click on the rebuildcommand.jsfl, it does not run
You need at least Flash MX 2004 (version 7) to run JSFL files. JSAPI was introduced with Flash MX 2004. Flash MX is Flash version 6. You can download a 30 day trial from Macromedia at www.flash.com. ASV 5 also supports Flash 8. Make sure correct export option is selected.

ASV displays many warnings / errors when I open this SWF file. Now what?
Most of the time ASV will show the scripts correctly even if it displays warnings (or errors). When in doubt send the SWF to us (if it's too big >2Mb, please write to us for confirmation) at support@buraks.com. We will fix any bug within 24 hours, send you a custom built EXE and have the fix integrated to ASV with the next update.

There's an option to 'Suppress error log temporarily' on the main toolbar, to ease working with these SWF files.

Can I extract SWF files from SWC files with ASV?
Yes.

I thought my actionscripts were secure. Now how can I implement this new online game, what's the deal with Flash security?
[Dated] We recommend you read the excellent whitepaper by Mike Chambers of Macromedia : Macromedia Flash MX Security at Macromedia Flash MX Whitepapers.

I've ordered ASV. When will i receive it?
In 24 hours (Most of the time in 6 hours or less). If you still haven't received ASV after 24 hours please contact us at support@buraks.com. You should receive an automatic confirmation email after you write to this address. (If you don't this means that either your email hasn't reached us (very unlikely) or somehow (maybe a firewall at your site) our emails cannot reach you. In that case please provide another email address and include your order ID).

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Our delivery times are currently (as of September 2004) 2 hours or less, whether it's weekend/holiday or not. When you're in a hurry, don't hesitate to email us. In fact, please don't hesitate to email us for any reason. All orders are verified manually, after automatic credit card verification by Plimus or eMetrix.

Will there be a Mac version?
No. (Note: ASV works exactly the same with Mac and PC generated SWFs.)

The reason we are not porting to Mac platform is that we have no Mac experience and no Mac access. We have heard that ASV runs fine with solutions that can run Win apps on Macs.

Is ASV a hacking tool?
No. (But ASV doesn't check for protection. ASV works just the same for a protected movie and an unprotected movie.)

We will never disclose our customers, but we can state that we have many customers from really big and respected companies.

How can i get more info?
Write to asv@buraks.com.

Is there a demo or shareware version?
Yes, there is a demo version! Demo version processes only first five frames of a SWF (and only first five frames of any MovieClip).
