Review:

Sothink SWF Decompiler is a tool to view, browse and parse Shockwave Flash movies (.swf files). It can extract images, movie clips sounds, from a Flash movies. Also, SWF Decompiler can decompile the action scripts in a Flash movie and turn them into neat and readable code.

Conclusion:

In conclusions to my analysis and verification in regards to my experience using sothink SWF decompiler, there are a two points I would want people, who are willing to use it, must know about. It is cheaper and easier-to-use SWF protection programs out there, but using secureSWF is the best one I could find. It requires a little more learning than some of its other competition. SWF protection is not foolproof. There are shops that are dedicated to stripping out all the protection from your games so that they can remove your logo/copyright, add their own ads, and sell it as their own. If secureSWF can make a SWF hacker decide that your game's not worth the trouble, then it's likely paid for itself. Honestly speaking, you can load in a .swf file and it will show all the scripts, whereabouts they're located in the movie: in a frame, on a button and movie object. Basically, you still won't be able to export this to an .fla file, that’s the closest thing you'll get with it. I also discovered that there is no way one can convert a compiled .swf file back to it's .fla form, one can view the symbols and scripting, used in the movie in utilizing a software piece called AcitionScript Viewer. This could be found at the following website: www.buraks.com/asv/ , so go check it out ok. Finally, my suggestion is that you go to the link, download it, ins tall and try it out yourself. Wish you all the best as you enjoy it.
