EMERGENCY: Lost Flash Files

[Grogs4]

I was working on a few flash files from my external hard drive when I disconnected the drive by accident. All the files that I had open in Flash now seem to have been deleted from the drive. Is there any way of getting them back or are Temporary Flash Files stored anywhere on my computer?

If you have the SWF you can decompile it.

Kenneth (or someone else),

Can you recommend a freeware .swf to .fla file converter? Thanks!

Free...? Nothing is free. Sadly.

May be someone else knows of a free decompiler.

OK it's "free" but with this limitations: "only the first two ActionScripts will be decompiled and only the first TWO resources in each category can be exported. And be unable to export the ActionScript when exporting FLA file."

point I wanted to make was that the poster ought to have tried a google first

 

[kennethkawamoto]

Post links to your .swfs or mail them to me (hit my handle above this post for address...) and I'll decompile them for you.
