Chris brought my attention to a discussion about Actionscript Viewer 3.0 on Flazoom
I am not surprised by comments like:
«Im really dissapointed that this new version of this product has come out. The purpose of this produt is to allow people to steal code, if stealing wasnt the motive then there would be a way to prevent decompilation»
Luckily, the discussion is balanced and it seems that people understand that programs such as Actionscript Viewer does exist and deal with it.
BTW: There is another product decompiling SWFs out there, its called Sothink SWF Decompiler MX 2002 Pro – it can take apart Flash 4, 5 and MX SWFs.
There’s a wacky thread on alt.macromedia.flash about someone wanting to steal the viewer so they can steal code from SWFs:
