Convert SWF to FLA

Help! I accidentally deleted my fla file, but still have the
SWF? Is there any way to convert swf to a layered fla file?
Or any other way to quickly re-create the layered file. Being
new to Flash, I spent (too) many hours on this project to lose it
with the (accidental) click of a button.

theres a software called flash decompiler, or you can use
imperator, google them

Freeware To Convert .swf or .fla to Quicktime or .png or .jpg for iMovie?

Hi. Just wondering if anyone's aware of any Freeware (or economical Shareware) for converting Flash's .swf or .fla files into a Quicktime file or even .png or .jpg's for import into iMovie. I know of a couple app's like this for Windows but need one for Mac's. Thanks for any assistance.

Actually, go here...
http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Multimediaand_Graphics/Misc__Graphics_Tools/Swf_Avi_Convert____Free_Converter__.html
That will get .swf to .avi(which is QT compatible) And it is free.
Or
http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Multimediaand_Graphics/Video_and_AnimationTools/VIDEOzilla.html
Which is 30 dollars.
Let me know if either of these apps will work for you.

Converting .swf to .fla

I will be supporting a new website and I don't have the
original .fla files. Is there a way to convert .swf files to .fla
so that I can make changes to the different layers, etc.?

Hi,
You can decompile the SWFs you are working on using any SWF
decompiler, search for one on Google, but the result sometimes is
not as good as the source files.

Can you convert SWF to FLA?

I am probably the stupidest person in the world... I accidently deleted my FLA file while cleaning up my computer. But I have the SWF version. Is there a way to convert my SWF to a FLA? I tried renaming but it didn't work. I really don't want to start all over-- the project took weeks!

I work for a defense contractor, so I need a reliable and safe program to recommend.
Any defense contractor which is allowing swf files on their network should be informed that you will hardly find any piece of software,
that is less reliable and less safe than flash.
I have many swf files that I need to edit, but when I import them into flash I lose a lot of the internal animations.
Even the best decompilers will make it hard for you to modify the internal code if you`are not the programmer who originally made it.
If you have "many" swf files and only need the animation, you will it find a lot less complicated to convert them to video and use a program like AfterEffects to tailor it to your visual needs.

How to convert swf to fla

i have flash decompiler and swf compiler both are crap neaither work. swf compiler doesn't fully compile it. do you know of any that works.

No, yoiu cannot decompile an swf into any fla using Flash (any version).

NON-Flash User Wants to Edit and "Recompile" an SWF or FLA file...help??

Hello!! Although I am NOT new to Mac, I have NEVER attempted to edit an SWF file and I'm seeking an EASY way to do so. I think I might be CLOSE but I'm wasting time trying to figure it out so I'm posting here for some help...hopefully!! :-))
I also apologize because I did NOT know where to post this question so KINDLY direct me if I have posted in the wrong place!
Soooo, I have an complete, original .swf flash movie. It is a Holiday greeting but the VERY LAST frame has text that is NOT RELEVANT and I wish to change that text.
It appears that the text I want to change is (I do NOT know the correct term) a "layer" of graphic content for the last frame.
So, I have done TWO THINGS: I have used the Flash Decompiler app to (1) create an .fla file and (2) DECOMPILED the entire .swf extracting ALL the resources/objects that are used to create the original .swf animation. I have NO IDEA what to do with the .fla file...I know it is used to edit the animation but I do not have software to manipulate the file.
BUT, in the decompiled files, I HAVE LOCATED the one resource...a TEXT RESOURCE...that I wish to change. This extracted text resource is named "Dynamic text 293.swf", saved as in .swf format.
Now HERE is where I am STUCK!!...and I THINK this is the direction I would like to go:
1. Open the Dynamic text 293.swf file in a format that allows me to EDIT THE TEXT I wish to change. HOW DO I DO THAT?? Can I convert it to a jpeg, edit the text, and then BACK to an .swf file?? Can I simply CREATE a JPEG and somehow SAVE IT as an .swf file to REPLACE the Dynamic text 293.swf file? Is there an EASIER/DIFFERENT way to edit the text in this Dynamic text 293.swf file?
2. After editing the text in the Dynamic text 293.swf file, HOW DO I "RECOMPILE" the folder of alllll the extracted resources from the original .swf animation, NOW with this NEW/EDITED Dynamic text 293.swf file, and RECREATE the full .swf with the changes I made??
Again, I do NOT have FLASH or MACROMEDIA or any of those apps :-/ I DO have the .fla file conversion AND have isolated the SINGLE extracted resource file (Dynamic text 293.swf) that I want to edit.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP Greatly appreciated!!
Scott

That's a problem, since the format changes between jpg and swf when converted
probably won't just go back to their previous state, less the changed section.
The converter you have, is it a freeware to convert swf to fla; or what does it say
that it can do? In some cases, a flash video can be copied (perhaps illegally)
through use of a software such as Ambrosia's SnapZ ProX and a movie of any-
thing playing on your Mac can be copied. So, a movie could be paused at the
end where the unwanted content exists, so the copy would not have it recorded.

http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
Otherwise, there are a few shareware and freeware editors for swf content; to
some degree or another they either convert content or allow some editing.
And this may only work as far as the item's creator allowed, if the file is locked.
' swf fla freeware editor Mac OS X ' - google search:

I'd tried some basic editing of swf files a few years ago, and was able to only
convert the string of images into single-frame jpgs and work on each one,
but could not get them back into an swf. Perhaps graphic converter or other
software could do something for these; but I am inexperienced in all that.
Good luck & happy computing!

Editing an SWF or FLA file

I have both the FLA and SWF files for a website template I
bought. I am trying to edit the file in Flash CS4 using the
following instructions. But I never see any of this code - all I
get are errors and the Movie timeline. How do I get to the code to
modify it? I'm a total novice at Flash but I want to learn.
Flash CS3/CS4 - additional changes
There are some differences between Flash MX 2004 and Adobe
Flash CS3, and therefore you need to make some small changes to the
FLA file if you want to edit the FLA file
To do this you need to open the photographer.fla file, go to
the act layer, and then in the first frame you will see the
following code:
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "T";
_root.pagen=0
_root.loadVariables("text.html", 0, "POST");
You should replace it with the code below and then save the
changes and export it as an SWf file.
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "T";
_root.pagen=0
_root.loadVariables("text.html");

That's a problem, since the format changes between jpg and swf when converted
probably won't just go back to their previous state, less the changed section.

.swf or .fla to .mov with audio converter?

Hey all,
I am looking for a way to get a .swf or .fla to a .mov file. I have compressor and quicktime pro with the macromedia suite. I can drop the .swf file in to compressor but i lose the audio. I also lose the audio when i export form flash to quicktime.
Any ideas ?

Hello, and thank you.
I did resolve the issue by exporting to .mov through Premiere and then buying Quicktime Pro and Exporting again from QT - I lost extremely little quality, but it seems that QT was able to discard any "extraneous" info (I'd be curious to find out what just what that info is).
I should mention that I wasn't very clear in my last - my first approach WAS to export from Flash... I tried it with all sorts of compression settings and all sorts of frame sizes, but the best I could ever get was an image of very poor quality with all sorts of artifacts. Because of that, I will most likely contact Adobe directly to make them aware that in my case at least the export to .mov option proved to be useless at best and a terrible time-waster at worst (sad but true).
There is audio in the file, and unfortunately Premiere does not seem to import it with the .swf file (unless there is some option I missed). On that count, I didn't have a problem - I just needed to re-insert the same audio file into Premiere as a part of my movie before sending it out again.
Anyway, thanks again. Most helpful!

Convert SWF to MPEG or AVI

What is the easiest way to convert an SWF (or FLA for that matter) to a standard video format like MPEG2 or AVI?
I've tried a couple programs I found on a google search, but none of them seem to work correctly. I'm hoping someone on here knows of a good way (really seems like it should be a built in feature, or at least a purchasable plug-in).

I should mention, and maybe this will help the problem be diagnosed:
I'm trying to convert 2 different animations (both created by me). One seems to convert pretty easily (by a few different programs). The other keeps showing up as only "2 frames" in a few different programs. In one program it registers as half the vertical resolution, and gets stretched to the expected resolution.
If I can solve the 2 frame thing, I already have a program that seems to work fine.
Any ideas?

Exporting to a .swf or .fla from InDesign CS6 - issues with timeline when opened in Flash.

Hello,
Looking for help with exporting files for Flash. I have tried both .swf and fla exports from InDesign for the animations I have created. The .swf file will play fine in Flash player but I am having no luck using the .swf or .fla file in Flash. The .fla file will open in Flash but there is no time-line. I can import the .swf file into Flash, but again there is no timeline - all the graphics and elements are visible in the library.
- Is there a particular way the file(s) have to be exported from InDesign in order for them to appear with a time line in Flash?
- Are there particular do's and dont's when it comes to creating InDesign files that are going to be used as Flash animation?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jamie

The page turning animations in an exported swf are accomplished via ActionScript—they are not timeline based tween animations. You might be able to decompile the swf and get to the code, but I've never tried it. Google SWF decompiler.
When you export to fla the animation ActionScript code is not included, so you lose the page turn animations. Each spread is saved as a MovieClip and the clips appear on sequential keyframes of the root timeline. With an fla it's up to you to write any animation code.

Problem with embed swf in fla

hallo,
I am trying to embed an SWF into an FLA (My website)
I want to embed an SWF movie on page 4 of my website along with other content.
There are a lot of tutorials on the web, but to be honest, I get so confused, a lof of them have errors so I figured i'd ask here if anyone knows of a good, simple tutorial on how to embed SWF in FLA.
thanks so much.

The mask would be a separate layer that sits above the layer your animation is in. So if you right clicked the layer the animation is in and selected mask, then that's not masking it, it turning it into a mask. What you want to do is create another layer above it and draw a rectangle that would be the same size as the stage of the swf. Then if you right click that layer it and select mask, the rectangle will be the mask for the anoimation--allowing only what is beneath it to be viewed.

Convert swf to video

Once, I find a very cooling flash on web, I want to put it on
my iPhone, but as you know, iPhone can only play iphone movie, then
I search on line to fine a program that can convert swf to iphone,
and I found Moyea swf to video converter. Actually, there are 9
products in Moyea swf to video converter series, you can choose
according to your own needs, such as swf to video Pro, swf to video
Std, swf to iphone, ipod, 3GP, Mpeg and so on.
Moyea SWF to video Pro is is quite brilliant in the
conversion from SWF to AVI, MP4, MPEG (compatible with DVD, VCD,
SVCD), and 3GP, etc. This program is orientated for video
professionals, business presenters, instructors, web designers,
video enthusiasts, etc.
As distinct from the crowd of other converters, the program
has no problems related to video and audio asynchronization,
skipped/lost frames, audio distortion, inability to retain Alpha
Channel effect of original Flash files in converted videos and
failure to process internal and external Flash video (FLV).
Instead the program could let you fully enjoy the original
effects of your Flash files on PC, iPod, Zune, Xbox, PSP, cell
phones, DVD players and other portable devices when you are on the
move. Generated video files can be cropped, added a transparent
background and an animated watermark, etc.
But I think Moyea swf to iphone converter is enough for me to
use, so I bought it. And after using it, I found that This SWF
Converter is a economical and powerful tool for converting SWF to
video for home use as well as sharing with excellent picture
quality and sound quality. For it cost less and has perfect
performace for converting swf to mp4, swf to iphone video(mp4), swf
to iPod video(mp4), and ripping SWF to MP3,AAC, M4A, WAV audio
files.
Now I want to share this series of program with all of you.
If you want to know more information please view
Moyea SWF to video

Yeah, of course the
SWF to Video Pro supports to
convert SWF to AVI video with alpha, generate 32 bits RGBA file,
offer manual mode for interactive Flash conversion, etc.
Actually you can download the trial version from the home
page of the product:

Convert .SWF

Convert swf to dvd format

what is the most efficient way to convert swf to dvd
format? are there more than one way? I'm trying to avoid
degradation

I think they mean to convert flash content into a type of
file to use for dvd authoring/burning. "Efficient" is a relative
term when it comes to what you want to do. The best answer
sometimes depends on what is actually in your flash file. If it's
all vector, you have less to worry about when it comes to
generation loss. There are several "swf 2 avi" converters out
there. Flash itself lets you export to avi, but the quality has
never been good. I use GeoVid's Flash to Video Encoder
http://www.geovid.com/Flash_to_Video_Encoder_PRO/
and Flashants SWF2Video
http://www.flashants.com/root/index.shtml
Each performs relatively well. From that, you can use the exported
video and place into whatever dvd burning application you
have.
