As you know, an SWF file is an already compiled Flash file. However it is impossible to rip the animations or elements that make up that Flash. Impossible? Well no, because thanks to a tool called Magic Flash Decompiler you can get each one of them.
With Magic Flash Decompiler you can get and rip each of the elements that make up a Flash animation, and work on them individually. From the SWF file you can edit it, add new text, add images, make modifications, animations, etc. Once you`ve done all the changes you can then go on and generate a new compiled SWF file.
Magic Flash Decompiler also comes equipped with tools to convert the SWF file directly to an EXE autorunnable.
