“Convert SWF to FLA on Mac”

This application is extremely handy to extract objects from a SWF or simply to convert a SWF into FLA. The program offers both basic and advanced modes. When testing it we found it converts SWF files fairly quickly. The progress bar lets you know how far you've gone in the operation anyways. The advanced settings for converting include detecting motion tweens, actionscript, symbols, and you can specify what timeline, page or library elements you want to include.

In the extracting feature you can select specifically what sort of object you wish to obtain from the SWF, such as video, images or fonts. The application can convert them into FLA or a more native file type, like MP3 for sounds. The extracted files are all a saved in a well organized folder, with sub folders for each object type.

Obviously, there's always a risk of losing a few elements when converting or extracting from SWF to FLA. This program gets it right the majority of the time and the sleek interface divides both extracting and converting features well.

From the publisher of Flash Decompiler Trillix

Flash Decompiler Trillix (former SWF to FLA Converter) converts Adobe Flash SWF files back into FLA format which can easily be edited in native Flash environment. Every group of objects such as morphs, shapes, texts, fonts, motions, sounds, ActionScripts, etc. could be placed in separate FLA library groups, which makes using and working with the resulting FLA file much easier.

Moreover, since Trillix version, in addition to SWF to FLA conversion, Flash Decompiler can extract all objects (images, sounds, video, shapes, text, morphs, ActionScripts, etc) used in SWF files into various file formats just in several clicks.

Additionally, you may customize FLA file workspace by enabling/disabling grids, rulers; specifying grid accuracy and so on. Every morph or shape can be placed on different layers to make sure that masks layers are working properly. Flash Decompiler Trillix is the only Mac OS tool to export the whole SWF movie in FLA format that supports Flash MX and ActionScript 2.0.
