How can I check if an swf has advanced-telemetry enabled?
Hi,
I have recently extedned Flexmojos to support the advanced telemetry compiler flag. Also I have created unit-tests that sort of test that functionality. Unfortunately I can simply see that below flex 4.10 that flag is simply not supported by the compiler. I can't however check if the file is actually enabled. So my question is, what is changed in a SWF in order to enable it so I can check this in a unit-test.

Justin added this feature in April. He should be able to provide a concise
answer.
In the meantime, please take a look at these commits if you can figure
things out:

http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-sdk/commit/4385498f (this one
probably has your answer)

Well I want to be able to detect programmatically, if advanced telemetry is tuned on.
I agree, running that in Scout would prove its presence, but I want to check this in flexmojos testsuite.
@Darrell: As soon as I upgraded the FDK used by Flexmojos 7 to 4.10 this was the first compiler version that actually required me to support the advancedTelemerty flag. So currently 4.10 and 4.11 seem to be the ones that support that flag. Don't know however, if the compiler actually uses this... this is what I want to check. I know there is a Perl script and an enabler application that modifies SWFs, but having a look at this seemed confusing. So I was hoping for someone here on the list to simply say something like: "In order to enable an swf, the 4th byte has to be set to XYZ" ;-)
Then checking this would be really easy.

Hi Alex,
thanks for that pointer. I guess SwfxPrinter seems to be exactly what I was looking for ... will give this a spin the next time I can free some time for Flexmojos :-)

I don't think that's right. The 4th byte is the SWF version. The
enabling tool may have forced a newer SWF version, but that could happen
for other reasons.
I think you need to decode the SWF. There are SWF decoding classes in
modules/swfutils/src/. SWFDump just calls SwfxPrinter.java.

Hi,
It may be the same place for the same swf with it turned on or off but not 100% sure, certainly not something I'd rely on.

Ok ... so I just had another look,
- unpacked an swf that was not enabled
- then enabled that SWF
- unpacked that content
- loaded both files in a text-compare tool
So it seems that the difference is simplywithin the first 7 bytes
Not Enabled: FWS0J+
Enabed: FWS4J+
(There seems to be some sort of line break after the FWS)
So can I go and hunt for the one different byte to detect if a file is enabled?

Oh, I see, Justin added it to swfutils. I was looking for it in falcon since this is where I had added the support but I don't see the code in Apache Flex's falcon.

The new tag in the swf is supported in Apache Flex (4.10 and 4.11) otherwise how else could we support it?
The tags value is 93, so you can look for that or just use swfdump, if the swf has advanced telemetry turned on it will show this:
<EnableTelemetry advancedTelemetry='true'/>

I believe there was a new tag added to the swf to enable telemetry. I don't
see this tag supported in Apache Flex.
