====== SWF9DIS wiki page ======

This page describes the ongoing work to create a SWF9 disassembler. This involves tools to analyze the instruction set of the new Flash 9 virtual machine (AVS2), and encoding those rules into a disassembler program.

A disassembler is being written in C++ by Asger Alstrup. The tools below help to extract the binary output of the Flex compiler and compare two code fragments differentially.

A [[http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2007/01/as3-decompiler/|nearly complete disassembler]] exists as part of the Tamarin project.

=== Analysis Tools ===
Some tools to extract compiled SWF9 code and differentially compare two programs are described in [[SWF9Tools]]

=== Opcodes ===
A partial list of opcodes we have discovered is listed here [[SWF9Opcodes]], however most of the new information is going straight into the disassembler program code.
