I lost my FLA for a project which i only have the SWF for. Is there a program which can rip my SWF, and turn it into a FLA? Please help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am ripping my own SWF, it is not stolen from a site. Thank you.

You cannot ripp you SWF. What you can do is decompile that file into the various pieces, and also get the actionscript code from every frame that has one.

For this you need a program called SWF Decompiler from Sothink. You can check it out at:

That will help you a lot I think.:cool:

If I find it i´ll upload the file. See ya.
