irrFuscator

irrFuscator is a cool tool that helps you protect your ActionScript 3 code in Flash and Flex SWF files. How? Well, it obfuscates your bytecode, which means it changes the names of functions, methods, constants, and classes. This makes it super hard for decompilers to figure out what your code does.

What is Obfuscation?

So, what exactly is obfuscation? It’s simply the process of changing names in your code to make it less readable. You can choose how complicated you want the naming to be. It’s like putting a disguise on your code!

How Does irrFuscator Work?

The way irrFuscator works is pretty straightforward. First, it reads a folder full of .as and .mxml files from your project. Then, it processes those files and outputs them into a target directory. After that, all you need to do is recompile the directory with the new obfuscated files. And voilà! Your .swf files are much safer now!

Why Choose irrFuscator?

Unlike other tools out there that might encrypt your SWF files, irrFuscator just focuses on obfuscating the code itself. This means it strips away all identifiable information without locking up the file.

The Benefits for Developers

This feature is especially popular among game developers and web designers because they really value strong protection for their work.

Performance Speed

The app was created using C++, which makes it pretty speedy! It can obfuscate about 1 MB of source code in around 10 seconds on an average PC. If you're working with binary SWF files, it gets even faster—just about one second!

Simplifying Your Code Visibility

If there’s something specific in your code that needs to stay visible or if you're using dynamic classes, don’t worry! You can tell irrFuscator not to obfuscate certain symbols.
