Has anyone come across a good tool for extracting ActionScript from an SWF.

I am working on a project and lost 2 AS files. I’ve tried extracting all of the AS code from the project using Flare ([http://www.nowrap.de/flare.html)](http://www.nowrap.de/flare.html%29), but the code that Flare generates is pretty useless for me in terms of trying to recreate the lost files.

In particular I’m interested in SoThink’s decompiler ([http://www.sothink.com/product/flashdecompiler/index.htm](http://www.sothink.com/product/flashdecompiler/index.htm)) and Trillix ([http://www.eltima.com/products/flashdecompiler/)](http://www.eltima.com/products/flashdecompiler/%29).  
Anyone had any luck with these?
