Hello.

I have a .swf file that was developed by one of my programmers, and the source .fla file has become totally corrupted, and as a result the backup was corrupted as well.

I am not sure if it was developed in Flash CS3, MX or 8.

I tried 3 different softwares to deconstruct the file, and I was only getting the file to reproduce in a fast blinking redundant loop when played. So it seems as if it did not deconstruct properly.

Does anyone in this forum offer the service of deconstructing .swf files at a fee? Or at least letting me know if it in fact can be properly deconstructed?

I really need to get this resolved, so I don’t need to rebuild the file from the ground up.

I am not a Flash expert and have limited experience with AS as well.

Thanks for any advice or tips etc… Please PM me if you are interested in trying a hack at this and what it would cost me.
