chswf - simple swf modification

chswf if a java tool for making changes to a swf file

it only has one use at the moment, to add or remove the tag needed to enable advanced telemetry in the swf so that you can access detailed profiling information in Monocle.

features

read/write swf files
support compressed swf files (read and write)
add/remove tags

usage

you can run it on the command-line or inside ant as follows

command-line

add telemetry

java -jar chswf-1.0.jar -telemetry=true path_to_swf_file

dump tags

java -jar chswf-1.0.jar -verbose path_to_swf_file

ANT

important you need to include the chswf jar in the ANT classpath. you can put it in "ANTHOME/lib" or provide a "-lib path_to_chsswf_jar" parameter on the command line.

define macro

creating a macro you can share across projects is a good idea

<macrodef name="chswf">
    <attribute name="file"/>
    <attribute name="telemetry" default="true"/>
    <attribute name="verbose" default="false"/>
    <sequential>
        <java classname="swf.ChangeSwf" fork="true" failonerror="true">
            <arg value="-telemetry=@{telemetry}"/>
            <arg value="-verbose=@{verbose}"/>
            <arg value="@{file}"/>
        </java>
    </sequential>
</macrodef>

use macro to add telemetry to swf

 <chswf telemetry="true" file="path_to_swf_file"/>
