Re: FLASH: [F5] Is it possible to revert a swf file...

[Gregg Caines]

I once lost one of my best Flash works that way...

The conversion from SWF to FLA is a destructive

one, and many parts of the FLA are left in favour of the

smaller FLA, most notably layers and tweens.  You

can import the SWF into your FLA, and though

it's is hardly the same as your old FLA, you might be

able to get some art back... and maybe some sound.


If the SWF is protected against import, you'll need an

unlocking tool and I don't know if there is one for

Flash 5.
