SWF Editor is designed mainly for users to fast edit SWF files. With SWF Editor, you can get rid of the complicated Adobe Flash tool to execute changes. Instead, you only need to open the SWF in SWF Editor, and then fast locate the target tag value and change it as needed.

What’s new in SWF Editor 1.1?

• Add support for opening and editing GLS files;
• Add two language interfaces, Russian and Portuguese.

SWF Editor will read and analyze structure of SWF files, and list all the tags in a tree view; you can check and edit gls data exported from SWF Decompiler. To edit a SWF file, you just need to double-click the target tag value and directly change it.

What’s the difference between gls editing in SWF Editor and SWF Decompiler?

In SWF Editor, the change can only be made on value; whereas in SWF Decompiler, it is a visual editing in WYSIWYG interface. There are different in ways.

Now, we also broaden our service range to Portugal and Russia. SWF Editor 1.1 supports free language switch; at present, there are altogether 8 languages available: English, Traditional Chinese, German, French, Italian, Korean, Russian and Portuguese. Users from different countries could choose different languages to use.
