He showed me it once, maybe it was already finished and I misunderstood him or misremembered.

well it's been finished for almost 3 years now but better later than never I guess

So I'm guessing that Flash Player Projector is not meant to play this thing.

what the fuck, it doesn't work for me either?!
not even my old version that i saved years ago and it has the same hash as the one OP uploaded so
it's the same file.
crashes with activex version of flash as well. tried with three versions of adobe's flash
projector and crashes in all three
what the hell? i know it worked before, otherwise i wouldn't have saved it

uhh, if I started the flash projector EXE, went to File>Open and paste the URL to the flash on
/f/ it worked
and now it works when i just double click the swf file as well...... what the actual fuck

Crashes all the same. The errors above were taken from the debug version of the 32.
>>3457937
>>3457938
It probably needs to download something to work. For some reason it failed to download it the
first time but after you've pasted the URL it cached the thing and can now work locally.
>> [_] Anonymous 01/19/21(Tue)02:13:56 No.3457943
Yeah, it pulls stuff from Adobe's FTP of all places. OP, you need to ditch this preloader thingy
because they will put the FTP down eventually. Or at the very least work around this so it has
fallbacks for when Internet connection isn't available, not to mention make sure it doesn't crash.
>> [_] Anonymous 01/19/21(Tue)07:44:22 No.3457971
You need the file textlayout 2.0.0.232.swz
Some flashes just need the thing, and for a very stupid reason either.
Me, I insert the AS from that file into the flashes that need it (using JPEX), and then it just
works.
Also if you manage to actually download the file using flash player, it is put somewhere into
adobe's cache and then all flashes that require it will work... untill you reinstall windows,
that is.

well then, I dunno what to tell you guys, it works fine with my firefox v76.0.1 and on my flash
player 11
I still have the original files so I uploaded them here if you wanna have a gander

i didn't post that i did but i tried clearing internet explorer's cache (which is what flash
projector uses for offline storage) and it still worked afterwards when i double clicked
>>3457971
oh lord, i think that's something to do with the new "TLF Text" that Adobe abandoned. you can
embed those things into your swfs by changing "Default Linkage" to "Merged into code", i don't
remember exactly how you did that but I guess this flash just didn't.
hm, where is the swz file stored
>> [_] Anonymous 01/19/21(Tue)13:00:31 No.3457984
>>3457983
found it stored here:
C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache\352V5RPP\<40 random characters>.swz
if i rename it the flash doesn't work when i double click and if i rename it back it works again.
uh

%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache
(that's on XP and 7; idk about 10)
All the files in there have cached names, but if you have a file with a size of 183 kb, then
that's it.

why on god's green earth didn't adobe bake this into the flash player? this means flashes will
stop working forever once their server goes offline and people can't download that file
>> [_] Anonymous 01/19/21(Tue)14:37:24 No.3457997
Found this old thread about the swz files and it seems like they might be signed, meaning (unless
Adobe dropped that practice) past the expatriation date the flash players will reject them?

>Adobe Flash Player Cache File
"Cache file introduced with version 9 of Adobe Flash Player; contains data that has been
digitally signed by Adobe; allows data to be cached within the Flash Player, similarly to how a
browser caches data."
It probably won't affect too many swf files that we care about but this means that there's
another timebomb in flash: 15 years after the required swz files were signed.
Hopefully many devs merge them into their swf file instead of using "default linkage" but several
devs probably didn't even know about this.

Ruffle and possibly others will almost certainly look for those specific requests and emulate
those files being downloaded while feeding them from a variable in its memory.

Signing verification can potentially be circumvented. Simpler yet, the flashes themselves can be
decompiled, fixed and recompiled.

>Simpler yet
it's not simpler to fix all the problematic flashes instead of just circumventing signing
verification, which fixes all the problematic flashes without them needing to be modified

yeah, in 8 years

Yeah, it was just unpleasant experience speaking. Writing programs right the first time is
"simpler" because they won't come back to fuck you in the ass later. It all depends on the number
of affected SWFs.

I found another flash with the same problem:
http://eye.swfchan.com/flash.asp?id=87371&n=TRANSCENDENTAL.swf
(it's a flash by Poncho he made September 2010)
The swf file just crashes. Tried both the flash projector and the ActiveX plugin (inside Media
Player Classic).
This time I put the swf file in a folder that I had told flash projector's global settings that
it could be trusted (meaning it can connect to internet). Then I opened the flash with the
projector and it downloaded yet another swz file, stored as:
C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache\352V5RPP\<40 random characters>.swz
the flash also works in the ActiveX plugin, even outside the trusted folder
so now i have two swz files, two heu files and one cacheSize.txt in that folder... does adobe
have somewhere you could download all needed swz files? what should i name them since the file
name seems to be random? scanned the regedit for clues to how the flash player maps the random
name but found nothing
>> [_] Anonymous 01/19/21(Tue)15:50:11 No.3458011

If the FTP server allows that, you could just grab all SWZ files from it.
>> [_] Anonymous 01/19/21(Tue)15:52:41 No.3458012
>>3458009
Not sure if adobe's FTP is browseable, I wouldn't put my hopes there.
I checked on my PCs, it seems textlayout_2.0.0.232.swz always maps to name 8F903698240FE799F61EE
DA8595181137B996156.swz
IDK if the heu file is important, seems to be some kind of a timestamp that updates when you
access a flash that needs this.
Btw tell me if your cached filename is the same pls.

i've tried http://fpdownload.adobe.com/ but it just redirected me to the flash EOL page or gives
me fake 404 messages.
here's how i know they are faking 404 messages:
>This is not 404:
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/tlf/1.1.0.604/textLayout_1.1.0.604.swz
>This is 404:
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/tlf/1.1.0.604/
i assume the flash projector downloads from http. or do you have an actual ftp url?
maybe our best bet is to get them from Waybackmachine:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/*
>>3458012
it's the same, here are my files:
7421C71F94DB4F028E7528B2D278F3FE4DC21273.heu (84 bytes)
7421C71F94DB4F028E7528B2D278F3FE4DC21273.swz (156308 bytes)
8F903698240FE799F61EEDA8595181137B996156.heu (149 bytes)
8F903698240FE799F61EEDA8595181137B996156.swz (186404 bytes)
cacheSize.txt (7 bytes)
They are stored in folder "352V5RPP", is your folder also named that?
I'd like to find Adobe's list of all available swz files. The filenames doesn't seem to be a
SHA/CRC/MD5 hash of the content, at least not with the algorithms I tried with.
>> [_] Anonymous 01/19/21(Tue)16:14:26 No.3458015

Nah, cache folder's name is random crap. If you delete it, a new random name will be created.
>> [_] Anonymous 01/19/21(Tue)16:45:50 No.3458019
>>3458015
Ok, now if we could only figure out what the swz files should be called.
and what's up with the heu files, seems to be some kind of metadata. wonder if that's required or
will be generated if missing.
sure would have been nice if adobe left flash in a better state than its in. but not even the
flash projector is truly standalone and needs to download stuff to play certain swf files...
