SWF Encoder

SWF Encoder provides a disciplined approach to producing stable SWF binaries. It accepts a source SWF, a target SWF version, and an optional compression mode, then outputs an encoded file with a manifest that documents size, version, and tag usage. Conceptually, it builds a valid SWF file by assembling a header, a tag stream, and an optional compressed body, while preserving compatibility with specified Flash Player versions. The tool supports advanced options such as tag-level optimizations and metadata attachment, enabling streamlined archival and distribution. Beneficiaries include game studios, asset managers, and QA teams seeking repeatable, auditable encoding results and deterministic file sizes. The unique value lies in explicit control over version mapping, optional metadata, and batch processing capabilities, paired with a clear manifest for verification. Core features cover input validation, version handling, compression control, and manifest generation, ensuring predictable behavior across assets and releases. Use cases span legacy game asset packaging, archival preservation, and distribution-ready SWFs for testing pipelines.
