So since then I've held a grudge against adobe and see them as greedy jerks, and paying for a program that they hold an annoying monopoly over, upsets me.īUT I don't think I have all the facts and I'm not sure what of my assumptions is real and whats fake. Is do I have to buy adobes IDE to be able to edit the fallout 4 SWF GUI files completely (Completely I.E: adding totally new buttons with totally new functions.) also I assume their IDE is called Flash and costs about $30 a month.īesides genuine curiosity, I ask this because I was a kid who watched newgrounds and wanted to emulate what I saw, and was devastated by the high price of flash (unaware I could have used any drawing program to animate >_>) SO while googling for solutions I saw an article that said flash develop couldn't edit swf files completely, only partially because adobe doesn't let anyone make a functional IDE to compete with theirs. I haven't gotten it to do that and I'm not sure if it's me screwing up the decompiling, or not installing the flex SDK right (the installer appears to be broken, it all ways gets stuck on the last part of the install) My version of 'working' is that the project launches, it doesn't have to look like it does in game but it should not be blank or not crash. So I've been playing aronud with these swf files using de compilers and 'Flash Develop' for a few days and it doesn't seem to be working. I admit this is a random assumption but if they where just using the swf files for media seems. My current understanding of how the fallout 4 GUI's work are the SWF files do all the heavy lifting as far as code goes and the fallout 4 engine just calls them. I was also thinking about making gui files with some interesting functions, that I assume are more complicated than that.

I am trying to make a blank gui file that opens, saves the system time to a global value, and then closes.
