editing an swf file

[D3x!]

Hi All,

I am a big time noob when it comes to flash.

I have a flash (.swf) file that I want to remove a bit off the end to make it shorter, what kind of program, must be free, can I use to do this?

And before you flame me, no it is not for a client, If I cannot do something that a client asks me I tell them I cannot and try suggest people I know who can, It is for a buddies site.

You would need a SWF decompiler program to convert the SWF to a FLA. Once it is in FLA format, you can edit it in a program like Adobe Flash.

Actually illegal (meaning for copyright issues) to decompile a completed SWF file if you don`t have the original or is the owner of the file or animation withing the SWF file. Rather ask the owner of the file to send you the FLA file, then you can easily edit the file and export to SWF.

Well his supplier that gave him the swf file said he can change the logo and take out the products he doesn't sell and edit some of the prices as they are cost etc.

PS. I have found this program called SWF Opener that decompiles it and you are able to edit it but not really getting it right. Perhaps it is time to tell him to pay someone to do it, at least I tried.

I use SWIX you can google this as well, after download install right click the file and select edit with swix

Very Easy and you can even remove watermarks etc

Although please dont do this corporately for your buddies is ok
