Inaccessible sprites in SWF files

[shadowman44]

There are some flash games that I would like to rip from, but for some reason the assets are "encrypted" in the file. I tried converting to ZLIB but I could find no exe files that would extract the assets, I tried talking over in the Discord but nobody I know seems to have a clue of how to do it.

We'll need to know the game you're trying to rip from, since this seems specific.

Well, it's not just a specific game.

It's from several games, it seems that some developers are more aware of sprite ripping than others.

Well alright, but we still need to know which games you're talking about. We can't help if we don't.

The games I'm referring to are seen here.

This can be closed now, I managed to figure out how to access the files using a binary data decrypter.

Please upload your solution before? To help others with a similar problem.

Oh right. That should help

Here's what you need to do.

Download the latest nightly build version of JPEXS (free flash decompiler)
Download the necessary tools to play the games in a separate window (Flash projector, flash projector debugger, Playerglobal25) and make sure to set the paths so that they will run properly.
Download a program called "SWF Memory Dumper" from Force Project X
In the SWF Memory Dumper program, locate the Flash Player task (refresh the list if you open the dumper before the flash program)
Click on "scan process", there should be hidden SWFs. Download all of them just to be on the safe side.
Open them all in JPEXS and look through each one until you find the file with the sprites/sounds you want to rip.

This can now be closed.

Actually would it be fine if I made a new thread that's just the tutorial so others can see it first thing?

[sutinoer]

That would be nice if they could create a detailed tutorial.
