HTMLIFIED [S] MAKE HER PAY
MOBILE: turn silent mode off to hear the audio & i reccommend watching landscape
DESKTOP: (you might wanna mute the tab after your first watch theres no way to stop this thing)
DOWNLOADING THE SWF
Setting: Homestuck Incorporated.
Time: Dead of Night.
I Cut a Circular Hole in the window of Homestuck Incorporated using my
Actual Laser Laser Pointer whilst wearing an Airtight Catsuit. Approaching the Vault,
I used my Multi Purpose Spy Gadget to crack the Advanced Algoritm
to the Official Homestuck Flashes Vault before the Alarms were able to go Off
i just inspected element until i found the url of the swf
DECOMPILING THE SWF
i used this handy tool
to turn that SWF right the FUCK back into a FLA. i thought id find like funny
frame labels from andrew hussie but the frame labels were just like "start" and "end"
ALKHGSAKDGHSDK SAD.
in my search for a good swf decompiler i found the funniest fucking thread ever
theyre supposed to be reccommending decompilers and i swear to god only one
decompiler gets linked in this FOUR YEAR DEBATE OVER THE ETHICS OF DECOMPILING
SWFS KJASGKDSAHGKDJS THAT IS *REAL* *EARLY* *INTERNET* *SHIT*.
ONE PERSON STRAIGHT UP WROTE "seeing this post disturbed me."
note on this decompiler: it epic failed at keeping the audio in the FLA. idk
if it always does that. for today i downloaded my own copy of
crystalmethaquins and just prayed i was starting it at the right position.
THE THINGS I DID
- resynced visual to audio using my script from the last post. if you'd like to see what the flash devolves into without the sync script, just dont say i didnt warn you.
-
made the flash scalable by checking these boxes under File > Publish Settings
you can see the scaling IN ACTION if you fiddle around with your browser size. but most
importantly, the flash fits in your Mobile Device. oh and i suppose the more important
development is that it PLAYS in your mobile device.
pictured in screenshot: i added a humorous little pre-preloader :) - uncompressed the audio. im cheating a bit here teehee its not like html5 compresses audio to begin with
- reprogrammed the replay button...i mean i had the code lying around why not AHGKASHGK
- DOUBLE CHECKED THAT I PUT THE MUSIC IN THE RIGHT PLACE TO BEGIN WITH (MAYBE THE FLASH ISNT ANIMATED AS ON POINT AS I REMEMBER FGSGHSJK)
THE THINGS I DID NOT DO
-
reprogramed basically anything. the volume, loading number thing, art/sound credits link, or
script that stops the animation from automatically replaying at the end.
the reason that these things need reprogramming is that, well, firstly they were programmed in actionscript2. flash doesnt even let you enable as2 anymore HDSAJKGHJKS and if you remember from the last lesson any as3 would also need translating to javascript. - restored any effects. i'm not actually noticing the loss of any effects but this log is telling me hella otherwise
NOTES
the first time i watched the htmlified flash it started lagging pretty badly.
i'm guessiNG that the script force-syncing almost EVERY FRAME takes a toll on performance?
though watching it 8493276348927983 times its not lagging at all so maybe the assets just needed to
load but isnt that what the preloader does
okay maybe it was just lagging because i was screwing around resizing my browser and stuff
HKASGHKSDJ NEED MORE DATA ON THIS ONE.
REPORT YOUR RESULTS BACK TO ME...ON TWITTER OR IN THE DISCORD
OR SOMETHING.
assuming others will start restoring hs flashes too, i might start a wiki keeping track of these once i finish restoring this one..
expect more posts regarding reprogramming and restoring effects on your FLASH of the FUTURE!
TOMORROW HAS FINALLY COME.........TODAY!
