Okay I suck at this, lol. I split one post out of the the Question for Flash developer thread:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94226](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94226)

and stuck it in the Forbidden thread because of the reference to swf decompiler:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94251](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94251)

Because the swf is not his/her own I don’t think its okay to use a decompiler on it.

If ya’ll feel the post is okay please feel free to add it back in to that thread. Oh, and I will send a pm to the\_menace explaining why I removed his/her post.

:hr:

_EDIT_  
here’s the pm I sent:

> Just wanted to let you know that I removed your post from the Question for Flash developers thread that mentions using a decompiler on the swf. Since the thread originator didn’t create the swf and doesn’t own it I don’t think it’s legal or right to decompile it and we here at Kirupa Forums don’t want to give the younger, more impressionable crowd the idea that its okay to use a decompiler to rip other’s work.
