Question

I have a Flash object in a SWF file. It contains an image that I need to extract, so I can use it directly for devices not supporting Flash.

How can I extract the image from the SWF? What tools should I use?

Answer 1

Well it depends on the situation, at any case you’ll need a way to identify that image inside the file aka a symbol.

Case 1. Embed

[Embed(source="assets/library.swf", symbol="AImage")]
[Bindable]
public var AImage:Class;

Case 2. Runtime

(this code is executed once the loader has loaded your swf source file)

loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("AImage");

Hope it helps
