Editor's review
This is a software program that can decompile all the resources form a Flash movie.
Flash Decompiler Gold and Flash Decompiler is a flash elements extractor. It allows exporting all resources such as images, shapes, sounds, fonts, dynamic texts, buttons, sprites, scripts, and frames from any SWF file. The trial version is free, obviously with a limited set of features. The full, paid version has a rich set of features however. This piece of program will work by itself and is not going to need the Flash tools from Adobe. Since you can export the stuff in FLA format you are able to generate an EXE file. That gives you an wider choice for distribution. The preview feature lets you make sure you are extracting exactly what you need to. The tool lets you add newer features into your existing SWF movies.
Working with the tool is very easy. All you need to do is to tick off the resources items shown and click the Export FLA button. You have an option of having the folder open after the exporting is done or you can get to the next step directly. You then go ahead and use the resources in the new content you want to create in flash environment. Movie size can be adjusted, background color can be chosen and then you can preview the product. This obviously is a tool for creating new content from a set of contents you may already have. A typical sales & marketing division could use such a tool easily. Since it can be done so easily, you could get tempted to use some existing content creatively, but do remember the latitudes allowed in copyright laws.
