NAME

SWF::ForcibleConverter - Convert SWF file into version 9 format forcibly if version is under 9

SYNOPSIS

    use SWF::ForcibleConverter;
    
    my $fc = SWF::ForcibleConverter->new;
    my $size = $fc->convert9($input, $output);

DESCRIPTION

SWF::ForcibleConverter is a utility that converts SWF file into version 9 format forcibly.

This program processes SWF that has version number of format less than 9. And version 9 or upper versions will be treated as it is, without converting, except compressibility change.

A reason of the changing is convenient for my algorithm, it inflates a file once. But this point does not become a problem.

CONSTRUCTOR

The constructor new() receives hash reference as an option.

    my $fc = SWF::ForcibleConverter->new({
                buffer_size => 4096,
                });

The option has following key that is available.

buffer_size

Buffer size (bytes) when reading input data.

At least 4096 is required, or croak.

Default is 4096.

METHOD

On the following explanation, $input or $output are file path or opened IO object.

Both are omissible. In that case, it uses STDIN or STDOUT.

As follows, this is convenient because of pipe processing.

    $ cat in.swf | perl -MSWF::ForcibleConverter -e \
        'SWF::ForcibleConverter->new->convert9' > out.swf

Note that when using STDIO, uncompress() or convert9*() can be called only once.

buffer_size([$num])

This is accessor. When $num is given, it sets the member directly, without validation. Regularly, please use [get|set]_buffer_size methods.

get_buffer_size

Get buffer size.

set_buffer_size($num)

Set buffer size.

At least 4096 is required, or croak.

version($input)

Get version number of SWF file.

is_compressed($input)

Return true if $input is compressed.

uncompress($input, $output)

Convert $input SWF into uncompressed $output SWF.

This method does not change version format, simply outputs with uncompressing.

convert9($input, $output)

    my $input   = "/path/to/original.swf";
    my $output  = "converted.swf";
    my $bytes   = $fc->convert9($input, $output);

Convert $input SWF into $output SWF with changing version 9 format forcibly. And it returns size of $output.

Note that if the $input is compressed format, that is known as CWS, $output will be CWS as well. The another case is uncompressed, as FWS. You can call convert9_compress() or convert9_uncompress() instead.

convert9_compress($input, $output)

convert9_compress() is the same as convert9() except $output is always compressed (that is CWS).

convert9_uncompress($input, $output)

convert9_uncompress() is the same as convert9() except $output is always uncompressed (that is FWS).
