IPhone Development, extract pos, rot, etc. in comma delimited format

Question

Hello Everyone,
I'm working on an iPhone game, and the artists are supplying the animations in flash format.  I need to be able to extract the images, image positions, and image rotations in a comma delimited format as input to my iPhone OpenGL Rendering Engine.  Are there any tools that let you do this?
Perhaps this is a really basic question, but I am new to flash programming and would appreciate your help.  Thanks.

Extracting the stuff manually is probably what you will have to do, using File > Export > Image for each item. As far as getting the csv of each object's position you can do it in the code like this:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
//Add all objects you want in the array
var theArray:Array = new Array(item1_mc, item2_mc);
//Loop through each object and get its properties (code not optomized for real use)
for(var i:int = 0; i < theArray.length; i++){
    var theCurObj = theArray[i];
    trace(i + "," + "," + theCurObj.x + "," + theCurObj.y + "," + theCurObj.rotation)
Of course you will have to give unique instance names to every item on the stage for the above code to work.Once the above code runs you can then copy evertyhing in the output window into a new text file and save it as .csv
It would be nice if there was a progam out there that would do it for you but I don't know of any. You can try swf decompilers but by the time you find one you like and fork over some money you'd probably be better off just doing it all manually. How many things do you need to extract?
