Design and the Elastic Mind

We launched MoMA's exhibition site, Design and the Elastic Mind.

In the past few decades, individuals have experienced dramatic changes in some of the most established dimensions of human life: time, space, matter, and individuality. Working across several time zones, traveling with relative ease between satellite maps and nanoscale images, gleefully drowning in information, acting fast in order to preserve some slow downtime, people cope daily with dozens of changes in scale. Minds adapt and acquire enough elasticity to be able to synthesize such abundance. One of design's most fundamental tasks is to stand between revolutions and life, and to help people deal with change. Designers have coped with these displacements by contributing thoughtful concepts that can provide guidance and ease as science and technology evolve. Several of them—the Mosaic graphic user's interface for the Internet, for instance—have truly changed the world. Design and the Elastic Mind is a survey of the latest developments in the field. It focuses on designers' ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and social mores, changes that will demand or reflect major adjustments in human behavior, and convert them into objects and systems that people understand and use.

AVM2Loader class

I made an AVM2Loader class, that loads AVM1 movie and converts to AVM2 movie!!
Its simply a subclass of the Loader class. Just use load and loadBytes method. AVM2Loader automatically changes internal bytecodes when swf is loaded.
When AVM1 movie is converted to AVM2, logically all as2 script should be ignored.

Loading AVM1 swf as AVM2 swf

Finally I found how we load AVM1 swf as AVM2.

  • Movie should be uncompressed
  • Movie should not include any as2 script

All we need to do is...

  • Load AVM1 movie as bytecode with URLLoader
  • Change index[3] ( that is 6,7 or 8 ) to 9
  • Find the byte code pattern, "44, 11, 00", that is somewhere around position 10 to 30
  • Rewtire that to "44, 11, 08"
  • Load bytecode with Loader

That it. Now you can fully access property and movieclips in the AVM1 movies.
