SWFWire Debugger

What initially started out as a vector drawing app would eventually become a multimedia software platform whose power and flexibility was overshadowed only by the security risks it entailed. While many attribute Adobe Flash’s downfall to its closed-source license, the content it sparked can still be openly enjoyed.

Thanks to a group of dedicated developers, those who grew up interacting with Flash-powered web apps or minimalist video games can relive the memories through the Flashpoint Archive with relative ease.

Despite its impressive size, there are likely plenty of files missing from the main project. If you happened to stumble upon a series of .SWF files that you attempted to archive without fully testing them, running them through the Adobe AIR-powered SWFWire Debugger should be a safe choice.

With the app at hand, users can directly interact with the target item, preview its properties and test its contents to check whether the format is fully playable or if it has gotten corrupted during the original downloading process.

This can help eliminate seemingly similar copies and unusable samples from your personal library to avoid needlessly running each item through an emulator, while also giving them the green light for sending them to Flashpoint Archive’s database in case they are not currently indexed.
