Hi,

this should easily work with SWF-Tools ( http://www.swftools.org/ ). It's a community open-source project with very good reputition already. It's really worth a try!

Hi,

swftools is free software for all major OSs. Using Windows or Mac you can get a precompiled package there. Under Linux, most distributions have swftools already in there repositories. I installed that long ago on all three platforms, and as far as I can remember it wasn't complicated at all.

Having installed that you can use that software via command-line (eg. cmd.exe under Win). Then have a look how the programmes are used. It will be something like

swfextract -o myimages swffile.swf


. Just fiddle around a bit (it's fun).

You can then use what ever arguments you figured out in PHP via the command

system()


( http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php ).

This all may sound a bit spooky at first, but it's not really rocket-sience. And if you need help, feel free to ask again (or even write a PM - as I'm currently quite stressed).

Hope I could help you now, dude.
Simon
