Is there anybody else here who advocates the copying of a car or engine for example, and then reproducing it as your own? Similarly, there is nothing to stop you opening up a car engine to see how it works… BUT if you copy the design of the engine or the design of the car, then you can be prosecuted … Personally, i find the radio a better example – yes, its okay to look inside, tinker and figure out how it all works, but it is very likely that the design for that individual radio will either be patented or copyrighted for example … The building site for example, fair enough you can learn techniques from waching and copying, but it is against the law to duplicate the original designs AND PRESENT IT AS YOUR OWN… Similarly to the users before me, i apologise for the resurrection of an old topic but the analogys have been thus far misinterpreted… You can see similar in the music world where everybody with a handful of old records and a sampler thinks they are a skilled musician. IMHO, the prevalence of decompilers is just an illustration of today’s lazy fast-food mentality towards acquiring skills. With hundreds if not thousands of tutorials online covering pretty much every aspect of flash design, and plenty great books available, the flash community is well served with great assets for learning, why bother fiddling with others swfs?
And I’d file swf decompiling under exactly that - fine for mucking about but it’s never going to replace proper learning. Sure you can open up a radio and see all the capacitors & resistors, but without a solid background of electronic principals you’re not going to do much but tinker. Unless you already have a fair bit of expertise to understand it all. Without any explanation of the developers thought process and reasoning behind what they’ve done, the knowledge on display in a decompiled swf is worth very little.
If it was, then design colleges/online courses/flash books would all base their content on this method of gaining knowledge … yeah right.

I seriously doubt that decompiling and viewing code is an efficient way of learning.
