mtanksl.ActionMessageFormat 1.0.4

AMF.net

An implementation in C# of both AMF0 and AMF3 binary format that is used to serialize ActionScript object graphs.

Why?

So, Flash is dead and Adobe will end support of Flash Player on December 31, 2020. I actually never used Flash and had no knowledge of it's build in communication protocol. It turns out that I had to automate a creepy old software written in Flash. Since I did not find any good library, I've written my own.

Audience

Probably nobody. But hey, It is fun to learn and implement a protocol. I kind liked this one (but no, I will never use it again).

How to serialize an object

var writer = new AmfWriter();

writer.WriteAmfPacket(new AmfPacket()
{
    Version = AmfVersion.Amf3,
    Headers = new List<AmfHeader>(),
    Messages = new List<AmfMessage>()
    {
        new AmfMessage()
        {
            TargetUri = "null",
            ResponseUri = "/1",
            Data = new CommandMessageExt()
            {
                Operation = 5,
                CorrelationId = "",
                TimeToLive = 0,
                Timestamp = 0,
                Headers = new { DSMessagingVersion = 1, DSId = "nil" },
                Body = new { },
                ClientId = null,
                Destination = "",
                MessageId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString()
            }
        }
    }
} );

How to deserialize an object

var reader = new AmfReader(writer.Data);

var packet = reader.ReadAmfPacket();

Object Viewer

I've also implemented a custom object viewer. Please note that IExternalizable classes need the definition models within the project. Use [TraitClass] and [TraitMember] attributes to map custom classes and properties.

Fiddler Inspector

I've also implemented a custom Fiddler Inspector. Please note that IExternalizable classes need the definition models within the project. Use [TraitClass] and [TraitMember] attributes to map custom classes and properties. To build, add a reference to C:\Users<USER>\AppData\Local\Programs\Fiddler\Fiddler.exe After build, copy all dlls to C:\Users<USER>\Documents\Fiddler2\Inspectors\
