As a flash designer, I have encountered times that I need to get elements from inside a shockwave flash, while before , it is impossible to get those resources from a finished flash,…now ,thanks to these flash decompilers, we can easily extract almost every elements(even the codes!) and re-design them into our own ?
Pls note: this is only my personal experience and does not stand for any official declaration.

As this is only my opinion, I won’t give much comments on all these four SWs, right now I’m using the Sothink one?
It’s my pleasure if you e-mail me for further discussion on these SWs.
