− | Constant blobs like string literals are stored after the bytecode, and referred to by records that are six bytes long regardless of the actual length of the data. This means the first constant will be referred to as 0x00, the second constant as 0x06, the third as 0x0C, and so on. Integer literals over 32767 and floating-point number literals are also stored as constants. | + | Constant blobs like string literals are stored after the bytecode, and referred to by records that are six bytes (director 7 uses eight bytes) long regardless of the actual length of the data.

Latest revision as of 12:18, 8 April 2023
This is a partial, work-in-progress examination of the bytecode created when Lingo code is compiled in Macromedia Director 4.0. It describes instructions for a stack-based virtual machine. This virtual machine is sometimes known as the IML, or Idealized Machine Layer.
Each instruction is one, two or three bytes.
- If the first byte is in the range 0x00-0x3F, then the full instruction is one byte.
- If the first byte is in the range 0x40-0x7F, then the full instruction is two bytes.
- If the first byte is in the range 0x80-0xFF, then the full instruction is three bytes.
Constant blobs like string literals are stored after the bytecode, and referred to by records that are six bytes (director 7 uses eight bytes) long regardless of the actual length of the data. This means the first constant will be referred to as 0x00, the second constant as 0x06, the third as 0x0C, and so on. Integer literals over 32767 and floating-point number literals are also stored as constants.
There is also a namelist for referring to external identifiers, stored separately from the bytecode. This is a simple array of strings.

-9 | Highlight (select) some text. The nine arguments taken from the stack are:
The positions used here are one-based, so zero is invalid as a position and is instead used to indicate unused parameters. Only one "first X position" can be set, the rest must be zero. The corresponding "last X position" may either be set too, or it can be zero, in which case the first position will also be used as the last. | |||||||||||||||||||

42 XX | a, b, c

-XX | +1 | Pop the specified number of values off the top of the stack, create an unparenthesized argument list containing them (i.e. for a call statement like myFunction 1, 2, 3 ), and push that to the stack.

44 XX |

+1 | Push a constant from local constant records onto the stack. These records seem to be six (or 8) bytes long (regardless of the actual size of the constant value), so pushing the first one is 44 00 , the second is 44 06 (or 44 08), the third is 44 0C , etc. To push the 65th one and beyond use code 84 YY ZZ

-1 | +1 or +0 | Call a function defined in this script with the name at namelist[XX]. The top value on the stack must be an argument list. If the argument list was created with code 43 XX, one return value will be pushed to the stack. If the argument list was created with code 42 XX, no return value will be pushed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
57 XX | someFunction 1,2,3

58 XX | someObject(mSomeMethod, 1,2,3)

-2 | +1 OR +0 | Pop [argument list, call target] to make a method call. If the call target is a literal number, this indicates a local variable is the target. It must be divided by six to get the actual local variable number. The first argument of the argument list will be a symbol with the name of the method. Note: It is still unclear what difference the value of XX makes. It has been seen as 0x01 and 0x05. More research is needed to know more.

[edit] Syntactic Sugar
Some functions get special syntax when written out in source code, but under the hood, the compiler just transforms it into more regular syntax. Here is a mapping that shows the equivalent in plain, generalized Lingo that gets used for the bytecode.

[edit] Bytecode Trailer
After the bytecode section for a function (determined using the offset and length fields from the function record), and then after an additional padding byte if there are an odd number of bytes in the bytecode, are the following values:
- For each argument: uint16 namelist index for the argument's name
- For each local variable: uint16 namelist index for the variable's name
- Count (C) * uint16
- Count (D) * uint8
- A padding byte if Count (D) is an odd number
[edit] Constants
Each constant record is six bytes long and has this format:
- uint16: Value type ID
- uint32: Data address, relative to the base address given in the header
In Director 5 files, eight bytes long records has been found, and has the following format:
- uint32: Value type ID
- uint32: Data address, relative to the base address given in the header
Here is how the value type IDs correspond to the data found at the given address:
01 | Text string | uint32 length (including null terminator) followed immediately by the character data |
---|---|---|
04 | 32-bit unsigned integer | "Data address" not an address, but the value itself |
09 | Floating point | uint32 length followed by the floating point data. In practice, the length always seems to be 10, so the number is an 80-bit extended precision number. |

At this location is found:
- ASCII "PJ93"

[edit] Lingo script decompile
A proof of concept of a Lingo script decompiler (still a Work In Progress) can be found in "drxtract" python script (DRI and DRX files data extractor) in GitHub (https://github.com/System25/drxtract). This scripts tries to extract images as BMP files, sound as WAV files and Lingo scripts as Lscr files.
The relationship between the file names and the cast members must be calculated with the help of the KEY file and CAS file. For example if in the KEY file we see the following line (file name, CAS index):
18.STXT, 0000000e
We will look for the CAS index (0000000e in the example) inside the CAS file. If that number is in the line 5 of the CAS file, that means that the text content of 18.STXT file is the element 5 of the casting.
