Hello Rajesh,\rNo, there is no SWF to Fla converter. The SWF file is highly compressed with all extraneous information such as layers, actions, etc. removed to help reduce file size. Macromedia made sure that people won’t be able to reverse engineer the SWF file and edit its contents. ---

but you can do this say my movie title was “Spen Is Awesome” and i was going to save it as “spen” where you put the name you can just put spen.swf (if you want the movie in swf form) or spen.fla (if you wan the movie in fla form). ---

Although there’s no way to convert a compiled .swf file back to it’s .fla form, you can view the scripting and symbols etc used in the movie by utilising a piece of software called AcitionScript Viewer. This can be found at [www.buraks.com/asv/](http://www.buraks.com/asv/) \r\rBasically you load in a .swf file and it will show the all the scripts, whereabouts they’re located in the movie (in a frame, on a button, movie object, etc.). Although you still won’t be able to export this to an .fla file, it’s the closest thing you’ll get. ---

There are programs that will extract thing out of a Swf (actions, sounds, symbols etc). You can then redo the Fla with having to start from scratch.\r\rSWF Scanner\r[www.livetronix.com/produc…/index.php\r\rSwf Browser\r[url=“http://www.swifftools.com/stools/”]www.swifftools.com/stools/](http://www.livetronix.com/products/swfscanner/index.php)\r\rNote: These are not freeware. The cost is about $20 US. But well worth the cost. ---

I want one! \r\rpj\rWho will not fear letting his troll loose on those that spam…Or Phalsely accuse others of being a troll. Or spammer. Or anything I don’t like, hell that troll will rule the world, with me of course as his master.\r ---
