Hey Flashmasters..Help!

[spacedog]

How do i convert a .swf to .fla

[Itchy]

Go get a trial copy of flash 5 from macromedia.com
run the program and you'll understand it better

[spacedog]

That's not what I asked?
I already own the full version of flash5, as well as fireworks & dreamweaver..what I need to know is how to convert a .swf to a .fla so that I can edit it in flash5.

[evildick]

In Flash 5, start a new blank movie. Then go to FILE, then IMPORT. Simply open the swf you want using the import feature and you will have the fla.

Some swf's are protected from import to prevent people copying their code.

If you are looking for some cool flas go to the movie download section at flashkit.com.

BTW, Thanks for putting my recip link up on your site!

Actually, you lose the interactivity when you import them that way.

Tried to import..didnt work way I wanted it to..Tried that forum..seems most are against conversion of swf to fla..

I got a flash intro that I want to edit..

It already has my site name, links & such, but I want to change the font & the colors, etc..plus, I dont like the scroll speed of the text..I didnt make the flash..the person that made it for me gave it to me in swf, but I want to edit it.

[Itchy]

Just ask the person that gave it to you for the fla file?

[spacedog]

But I dont wanna pay for it!

Additional modifications will cost me!
I wanna use the one I got as a template & learn how to do flash my self

[evildick]

I just checked around google and it appears there is no easy solution. Read this:

Using something like this program is the closest you'll get:

I can do flash work for you (or anyone else that wants some) in exchange for traffic.

Thanks evildick..

[spacedog]

Well, that was pointless..
The SWF scan program sucks..it dont do shit..it dont even work..it justs shows the action script..

[spacedog]

Well, forget about this..Started over & deleted the swf
Where can I get flash5 extensions besides macromedia..(I got all those).
