Howto extract ABC from SWFs with no ABC tags #2

I noticed most Flash games lack ABC tags. How does one go about extracting the ActionScript byte-code from them?

whitequark commented 12 years ago

Furnace-SWF only tries to extract DoABC2 tags, i.e. the tags with compiled ActionScript bytecode. It seems that you've been exploring games only with prior versions of ActionScript used.

Technically, Furnace-SWF doesn't care about contents of the tags it lists/extracts, but as Furnace-AVM2 can only work with AS3, I did not implement anything except DoABC2.
