Re: First tangile results of Open File Format initiative

[Dorian Nisinson]

Jim and Paul

	I too am less than content that removing the protection is easier now,

but, as Paul says, if it is a reality we may as well face it right away.

I downloaded the utility and tried it on a fairly complex swf file of

mine. It did have some oddness in the translation and, frankly, I think

it would take a great deal of work to make that file functional again.

It will take a bit more experimenting on my part to figure out what does

and does not translate well. My first thought is a more thorough use of

movie clips could make the reimported swf file pretty much a jumble of

sequential images with odd gaps.

	Anyone else have any ideas?
