Print SWF(file) not working.

Question

Print SWF(file) not working.

jdcrunchman opened this issue 10 years ago · comments

from swf.movie import SWF <--- works fine
file = open('CT12KORJ001.swf', 'rb' ) <---- works fine
print SWF(file)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.8-intel/egg/swf/movie.py", line 87, in init
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.8-intel/egg/swf/movie.py", line 143, in parse
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.8-intel/egg/swf/tag.py", line 112, in parse_tags

Why am I getting this? Where have I made my mistake, Did I leave anything out? Did the install go badly? It didn't indicate so.

Please also reply to my email - jdcrunchman@gmail.com

Here is a sample SWF file I've attached that causes this problem. I sure

You didn't attach the file :)

It seems your SWF contains an invalid fillStyle 0x36...
Could be that recent versions of Flash introduced a new fillStyle.
What Flash version did you use to create this SWF?

A possible workaround would be to save your movie as an older version like 10.

Note that pyswf hasn't been updated for quite a while, so pyswf may fail on SWF versions 11 or higher.

Good question. This SWF file came from the Thailand Yellow Pages CD, and we wanted to be able to extract text data from it.

Is there anyway to modify the python code to ignore this full style.

It's not really a movie, it's a static SWF file. By the way, I delegated Bob Ackerman to take over this project, he was CCed in this message, you should work with him. I had to detach myself from this project due to health reasons. Back pain so intense, I had to go to hospital here In Bangkok.

Where are you located? Need to know, for time zone reasons.

Is there anyway we can do something about that? Or is there another python module that's newer?

interesting that there is a fill style in a supposedly pure text file. maybe the font is included in the text in which case it won't be a simple matter of exporting some unicode text. is there a standard thai alphabet in unicode?
perhaps build the module without throwing an exception on invalid style? source is on github.
interesting that it says the readme was updated 1 month ago, also, the parser it is based on was updated 2 months ago, but not pyswf. so, perhaps, we can drop in the newer parser into pyswf.
is tim interested in doing this project or is he just a helpful resource? would we collaborate?

oh, now i see that tim is the author of pyswf. :)
so tim is saying that his pyswf doesn't handle more recent swf versions. hmm.
well, my comment on using a newer parser still holds.
i am looking at swftools. i installed it ok, but i don't see how to use it. it seems there is a connection between pyswf and swftools? swftools seems to think so, but there is no mention of swftools in the pyswf github readme.

John,

It would really help if you send me the SWF so i can try provide you with a fix (Its not attached in the comment you posted earlier).

Please send it to tim at floorplanner dot com.

i see that claus' parser is not a drop-in; pyswf is a translation into python of the parser code.
so the question is, can tim translate the most recent code from claus or tell us how to get around the 'fill' exception.

Crunch: where can we get the Thai alphabet in Unicode.

perhaps build the module without throwing an exception on invalid style? source is on github.

If possible, Yes Bob... lets see of you can collaborate with timKnip and nail this sucka...

Again. I need the SWF to debug the issue. Please attach it or mail it to me.

I need the file to reproduce the issue.

jdcrunchman · Answer 11 · Fri Jun 27 2014 14:41:38 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Ok, those other files I sent were aliases. So are useless to you guys.
So, I've attached a real swf file to this message, and want to call
your attention to this link.

http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/swf/pdf/swf-file-format-spec.pdf

This is for reference only, but using this, and a Hex File editor, I
found NO CORRELATION to any of the data as described in this link.

Same issue here, basically I can't get passed of simply printing the SWF structure at "print SWF(File)".
Issues start with:

pyswf/swf/movie.py", line 100, in init
self.parse(self._data)

Any ideas?

This issue was started more then 3 years ago, I have since gone on to work on other projects. John
