Flash

[Joe_Fox]

Bit of a long shot here but has anyone got any experience of using Flash (actually creating new flash files in Flash CS3 or CS4) ?

I have a swf file that I need to add something to and have flash but am not sure how to get started with it all.

If you can help, let me know.

Cheers,
Joe

You will need the original FLA file, the SWF is the compiled file for runtime. The only way you could do anything with it is to load it as a movie clip into a new file, but you won't be able to change the original bits.

I'll try and find FLA file.

You could try decompiling the swf to fla using something like Sothink SWF Decompiler

My trial for that SWF decomplier has just ran out! How can I get around that? Is there a registry setting I can delete or something so that I can have the trial again?

I guess you could try running it in Sandboxie or something. Alternatively, if you upload the swf somewhere, I could give it a crack on my machine for you.
