Extracting Text and or Graphics from Flash files in batch

[aimskee]

Does anyone know how I can quickly extract text and or graphics from my Flash files in batch? I have around 130 Flash files, some of which are animated text and images, some of which are just one or the other. I need to make alternative text-only and/or static graphic popups for each file. For the Flash files that only have graphics, I need to extract the static graphic images as the alternative popup, and for animated Flash text, just the text.
Does anyone know of a way to speed up this process? I have been putting off this task because of the probable tedium involved. I know there is an accessiblity option in Flash but I'm wondering if there is a quicker way to programmatically extract the info I need.

You can write a JSFL to automate your task - only if you're up for a challenge!

Or...
"ASV now can batch extract from single or multiple files one or more of the following resource types: Bitmaps, Sounds, Video, Text, Font, ActionScript, SWF Data as Text and Rebuild Data."

I only use external text and images via XML. If your Flash files are like that in the first place, your job has been done without doing anything.
