I'm using Sothink SWF decompiler v 5.2
Try updating to v5.6 build 546 (latest)? I used the same key for all v5.X versions IIRC and it updated smoothly. I don't think there were especially major updates between those versions, but the "Search all AS" function which came in v5.4 may prove to be useful.
and in the field were the text or image is, like where the action script appears
I understood the second part (after the comma), and I think text refers to actionscript but I'm not too sure about the image part O.o
I right click and I can see options like "Undo" "Redo" "Replace" "Find" but they're all shaded
I've made some AoBs and I don't remember ever rightclicking in sothink swf decompiler... >:O Though I can't find "Find" in my rightclick menu, I see the parts about Undo/Redo/Cut/Paste/Delete which also remain shaded/greyed out and disabled. Personally I don't see how these would even make sense unless there exists an obscure hidden actionscript-editing feature which I have no idea about ;_; My guess is that they don't really do anything.
and I try and press CTRL+F on the text field but nothing happens, I have this version registered, so any answers to why this is happening? Am I the only one?
To find the search function, go to the ActionScript tab at the top (the second tab) and well, you should see a textbox to enter what to search for, a search button, among other things, which should be pretty self-explanatory. (broken image removed)
