So, the first and foremost, Flash Optimizer owns a new, completely redesigned user interface. It is redeemed in all that Vista-style and gives you a stylish, glossy look. As you can see, it is now divided into two tabs for your convenience: “Compress one file” and “Compress many files”. This option is driven to help you make the first major step in optimization process easy and comfortable. No more multiple and confusing tabs! You get only two, and within these two you obtain the whole set of optimization options.

All GUI elements are grouped together for your comfort. A little built-in Flash player with playback options and little table to the right that shows you precisely of what elements your SWF consists of. All compression settings are situated on the same tab, just a little lower. All predefined parameters of compression have been tested by our professionals, so even Flash novices will receive great results without the need to learn how every SWF element is optimized. Alternatively, all advanced users will have the ability to tune the settings their own way, to make the optimization result the way they desired. “Preview Compression” button is a nice way to try various compression settings before the compression process itself. It gives you an opportunity to choose the best optimization balance.

New sound compression technology, that lets you optimize both event and stream sounds with multiple options, leads off the whole new set of features. Moreover, with Flash Optimizer you will be able to compress sounds by converting stereo to mono. New video conversion algorithms allow you to change video bitrate and ratio for embedded Flash video without significant quality loss. Other new features include completely new algorithms of images optimization, curves, fonts, zero-objects, vectors and Z-lib optimization. Flash Optimizer 2.0 opens a wide range of Flash optimization options, ensured by better usability and speed of the application. Moreover, Flash Optimizer fully supports Flash 8 and partially Flash 9, which we continue to work on.

You are welcome to download all new Flash Optimizer right away and take your own dive into Flash optimization.

The interface is very simple and is divided into 2 parts with controls to share local devices or connect to remote ones.

Nevertheless here is how you do it.

• Share local USB devices

1. When launching the application there is a list of USB ports available on your PC. You can select a port and share it by clicking “Share local USB device” option even without a device plugged in. You can also apply a filter to view shared USB devices, present devices or connected devices only.

2. After you plug USB device into USB port, USB to Ethernet Connector will find it automatically. After clicking “Share local USB device” a dialog window will appear and you’ll be able to view information about the device you’re about to share and customize additional settings. These include:
- Customize TCP port;
- Enable traffic encryption;
- Enable authorization – this option allows you to set password to access shared devices.

Anyone who’s going to connect to shared devices will need to type the password you’ve entered within the field “Password”.

To unshare the device (or shared port) click “Unshare local USB device” button.

• Connect to remote USB devices

1. To access remote USB devices switch to “Remote USB devices” tab and click “Add remote device” button. Then define remote host (ours is on the local network but you can choose any host either on the local network or Internet, just keep in mind that in order to share/connect to devices USB to Ethernet Connector needs to be installed on both computers) and press “Find”. The program will list devices/ports shared on the remote computer. Or you can press “Find all” and get the list of shared devices/ports within the whole local area network.

2. Now you can add remote devices/ports and connect to them by pressing “Establish connection” and entering authorization password. To disconnect the device press “Disconnect” button.

You can download free demo version of the application.

Choose any image from the list in “My tasks” area. In the down left corner you see “Image properties” window. This is your aim. Within this window you can replace the original image with any other you choose, set JPEG or PNG format, modify quality and add/remove transparency.
(Please, don’t forget that our Decompiler lets you discard changes anytime.)

• “Sounds”

The same simple scheme again. Now you see the “Edit sounds” window where you can change sound format (WAV and MP3 formats are available), replace existing sounds with any others, set mono/stereo audio reproduction and define sound quality (sound rate, bits per sample, MP3 bitrate).

• “Dynamic texts”

Within “Edit dynamic texts” window you have plenty of customizable text parameters. They include: word-wrapping, multi-line text positioning, read-only text, automatic size setting, text selection, text as HTML, text color and aligning left/right, center or justify.

Very simple. Just set link location and link target within “Edit links” window.

• “Colors”

There is a great variety of colors available within “Edit color” window and you can replace or modify any color in your SWF file.

Today I’ll tell you guys how to convert your SWF file into FLA using Flash Decompiler…

1. At the start of an application you see that “Manage” tab is active. Here you can manage your Flash files and tasks, preview files and take snapshots.

2. To add SWF or EXE Projector file to “My tasks” double-click it or choose “Add task” icon or just drag it from Explorer to “My tasks” area. Note, that you can add multiple tasks and use batch conversion. Now you can look through “SWF File Info”, “SWF Resources Info” and all specific information about the particular resource.

3. Choose “Convert” tab and specify the conversion path. “Open file after conversion” option makes Flash Decompiler open converted file(s) in Adobe Flash right after conversion. You can get your FLA files just right away by clicking “Convert current” (convert the highlighted file) or “Convert all” icon (if there are more than one file in “My tasks” area).
The file(s) will be converted with default settings.

4. In case you want to view or change conversion settings switch to “Conversion options” tab and you’ll see 4 subtabs where you can adjust some additional settings.
“General” – Here you can specify Motion tweens parameters (movement smoothness and length factor), objects parameters (place shapes into library, decompile symbols not present at timelime and join mask layers) and configure morph detection and decompilation options.
“FLA” – Set the version of FLA format to be created, set the default version of SWF format to be published after converting and name Library folders.

“Text” – Determine static text bounding box expansion and other text options (place texts into library, convert static text into shapes and force ANSI encoding).
“ActionScript” – Here you will find ActionScript options (decode built-in MX classes, combine all scripts into folder, recover original veriables names) and Code format (braces at new line, braces around single statement, use getProperty/setProperty, use tabs and indent size).
Remember that our Decompiler allows you to reset settings to default anytime you wish.

5. So, you’ve already set conversion options and ready to get your FLA files. Switch back to “Convert” tab, click “Convert current” or “Convert all”. Activity log will show you the details of conversion and after a few seconds (time elapsed depends on quantity of the files and their size) you have your FLA files in the specified folder (“Conversion path”). By the way, you have an opportunity to save the log of conversion for future references.

I hope this information was useful but nevertheless you are welcome to comment and ask any questions!
