The professional Flash decompiler easily decompiles one or more SWF to FLA, SWF to FLEX project.
Sothink SWF Decompiler is a professional Flash decompiler. It can easily decompile SWF to FLA and FLEX projects. Not only supports AS3, this Flash decompiler also supports Flash 6/MX 2004/8/CS3/CS4 and FLEX. It extracts almost all Flash elements including shape, morph shapes, images, sounds, videos, frames, fonts, texts, buttons, sprites and ActionScript.
SWF Decompiler is fully compatible with Windows 7; search for all ActionScript is enabled.

Haven’t had a complaint yet with SoThink software, so I’ll definitely be downloading this one. Thanks, GAoTD!

HELP!!
I’m getting lost in this world of acronyms, I’m drowning in an ocean of letterwords. Not just in this citation but everywhere I look.
The number of filename extensions e.g. is maddening. It looks as if “standard” and “standardization” has become meaningless, however many organizations, committees or expert studygroups there are. But this is not really “our” problem here, is it.
Still: does there exist, in today’s (electronic, internet-) universe, a (regularly updated) lexicon/dictionary of acronyms? Alphabetically ordered or by subject/field of expertise, whatever, ideally multilingual (this is really asking too much!) and preferably free of charge?
To the point…
What is (the meaning of):
- SWF (ShockWave Flash, OK, but what does it mean?)
- FLA
- AS3
- Flash 6/MX 2004/8/CS3/CS4 (Flash video formats I presume)
- FLEX (a FLEX project)
- ActionScript
Where does Adobe and other flash video (-formats) fit in the picture here?
Now, I’ve been googling “FLEX project” and haven’t gotten any wiser from it.
Would some kind soul show me the way/put me on the right track to some of all this “stuff”? Please?
What’s the use of great software if I don’t understand what it is all about? The developers tutorial pages have given me some idea, but no “insight”
Thanks for any helpful info or “pointers” to it!

Adobe released the Flex compiler as open source 2 years ago. I.e., the compiler is free. Flex Builder–the GUI/IDE–is not free.
@Patrick #10, Joji #4 and john connor #8:
Right – and SWF file is the compiled flash movie and an FLA is the uncompiled elements that are used to make the movie. A lot like pulling the source code from an executable.
Why would anyone want this? Well it can provide many elements from the original Flash movie that Flash developers or website designers can use. This includes the actual vector images, regular JPG or BMP images, sounds, fonts used, and (for the more technically inclined) the raw action script code which can then be modified or used in your own flash movies. If you’ve ever had a SWF banner or website element that plays a slideshow and wanted one of the images from it, this would let you grab that raw image rather than having to use a screen capture of the compressed/resized image for instance.
Everything by SoThink is worth it! Good solid software! Two thumbs way up.
So a quick question; would this give code for the .fla files?
I am disappointed that it won’t decompile a simple FLV flash.
@Joji #4
> 4.So what exactly does this do? I don’t get it…
Good question, Joji! The use of the term “decompiler” may be a bit confusing, especially for someone who mostly uses it in a programming context (“compiler” as opposed to “interpreter”, e.g. C++ vs. Basic).
Perhaps “decomposer” would be less confusing.
As far as I understand it this program decomposes a flash movie into it’s various elements, i.e. pictureframes, soundtrack(s), text etc… all of which, when compiled/composed/put together, give the resulting movie.
I have to admit though that this explanation is pure guesswork on my part, so I hope someone will correct me if I’m wrong or incomplete
Shinerunner #4’s “now if I could just find a free compiler I would be happy” seems to indirectly support my explanation. Having both a decompiler and a compiler would make it possible to compose really fun stuff from a collection of elements “ripped” from different movies. For creative people that may be the equivalent of “heavan on earth”
So, Shinerunner, submit your request to GOTD in the section dealing with this.

@Mark, you don’t have to install software informer. The final activation screen gives you an option with “Install Software Informer” on the bottom left, and “Close” on the bottom right. Just click close. I’ve never installed software informer and I’ve installed gads of GOTD software.
Always read the menus when installing free software. Many often “offer” to change your homepage, or install superfluous software.
FTR, this giveaway still gives you an activation screen where you have to opt out of Software Informer. The txt file serial doesn’t bypass that “feature”.
yeah joji I was wondering the same thing.
swf is a flash video think but not sure why one would want to decompile one.
