Can I revert back to Flash format.

[PantoKing]

Hello,

I have a file which was created in Flash and saved as an Executable (.exe) for use as a standalone presentation. This file was created some time ago and the original developer did not leave any of the .FLA files (nice of him!)
However now we need to update this presentation and we don't really like the idea of having to redo the whole lot again as it took several weeks of development work to do it originally. Is there anyway of reversing the process and extracting the data within the .exe back to Flash. I know that this is a long shot but does anyone have any ideas or know any software that may be able to help.

Cheers,

Steve Make things as simple as possible — but no simpler.

Hi, although there is no way to convert the files back to .fla files, there is something that may help:

http://buraks.com/asv/

This bit of software allows you to view the inner workings of swf files (including actionscript etc.) and although you can't actually change stuff it could help you recreate the .fla much faster.

The demo only lets you view the first 5 frames but depending on how the movie was made, this might be enough.

Hope this is of some help ;-) Nick (Web Developer)

PS Forgot to mention it can also view flash executable files (.exe) too so don't worry. Nick (Web Developer)
