SWF, GFX

  • Format Type : Animation / Container
  • Endian Order : Little Endian


Format Specifications

// SWF/GFX file format

// little endian

// header
3 bytes (char) - signature  // "FWS" - uncompressed *.SWF file
                            // "CWS" - ZLIB compressed *.SWF file (SWF 6 and later only)
                            // "ZWS" - LZMA compressed *.SWF file (SWF 13 and later only)
                            // "GFX" - same as FWS, but used in *.GFX files
                            // "CFX" - same as CWS, but used in *.GFX files
1 byte (uint8) - version  //  e.g. 0x06 for version 6
                                   0x0F for version 15
                                   0x20 for version 32
4 bytes (uint32) - total file size in bytes
x bytes - frame size
2 bytes (uint16) - frame rate
2 bytes (uint16) - frame count

// tags
num_of_tags *
{
   2 bytes (uint16) - tag type and length   // upper 10 bits - tag type
                                            // lower 6 bits - tag length
   x bytes - tag data
}

Notes and Comments

  • Files can be compressed with ZLIB compression (CWS signature) or with LZMA compression (ZWS signature).
  • Scaleform GFX files share file format with the SWF Flash movies.
  • SWF is acronym for "Small Web Format" and it was designed to eliminate confusion with a different technology, Shockwave, from which SWF derived.
  • SWF files are typically derived from a FLA file (Macromedia Flash Project File)
  • Unreal Engine 3 uses containers for GFX files with SWFMOVIE extension.

Games

List of games using this format:

  • Batman: Arkham Asylum (PC)
  • Deadpool (PC) (signature: "GFX") (version: 8) (GFX files packed in *.SWFMOVIE container)
  • Mafia 3 (*.GFX) (PC) (signature: "GFX") (version: 15)
  • Star Wars – The Old Republic
  • The Henry Stickmin Collection (*.SWF) (signature: "CWS") (version: 32)
