Update #1:<\/strong> when I wrote this post, this all worked… And I have good hope that the site will return. For now I can only say: try again later….<\/strike> \ud83d\ude41 <\/div>\n
Update #2:<\/strong> well the site didn’t return: it’s as dead as a doorknob … that’s too bad. I couldn’t find a place where you can download it now, so I searched my external harddrive if I had the original zip-file, and I did. So you can download the file at http:\/\/www.box.net\/shared\/u5utxytazn#swfdrop<\/a><\/div>\n
Update #3:<\/strong> Today I needed this for a good export to AVI and found out that swfdrop only works if the animation is on the main (root) timeline… so I used the trick introduced by swf2avi<\/a> > read more here<\/a><\/div>\n

Flash is not very good in converting animations in to AVI’s because you lose the animations in the nested movieclips. You can export to .MOV but that’s not a native Windows video codex.<\/p>\n

So you want to convert a SWF to AVI (SWF2AVI) or another videofile\/codex (without spending any cash)?
\nAs the title of this post suggest: I have written about this subject before: in part 1<\/a> and part 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And I found a new freeware tool to help you convert your SWF: www.swfdrop.com<\/a><\/strike>.
\n\"SWF<\/p>\n

Download: <\/strong> it think this program is very useful, but the creators think different and killed the original site. I still have the original swfdrop.zip and that one can be downloaded here:http:\/\/www.box.net\/shared\/u5utxytazn#swfdrop<\/a>.
\nRemember:<\/strong> I have nothing to do with this program, I only think it’s useful.\n<\/div>\n

This project is also freeware and more up-to-date: October 2007 (swf2avi<\/strong> is last updated in 27-08-2002 & swf>>avi<\/strong> is last update in 07.20.2005).<\/p>\n

“SWFDROP” is the SWF converter for Windows to convert Flash SWF file format to AVI format. It’s the best tool to successfully convert any Flash 6\/7\/8\/9 SWF file into a video AVI file that you can play with Windows Media Player (or any video player), where all other tools don\u2019t work. These, along with a variety of video encoding options, make SWFDROP the best choice for you productivity!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A little preview:<\/strike> you can figure it out, trust me.<\/p>\n

It’s very easy to use, you can use the codex installed on you computer and it’s very fast<\/p>\n

\nCreate a movie that will load the movie that you want to export.<\/p>\n
    \n
  • make this movie the same size as the original<\/li>\n
  • use the same frame rate<\/li>\n
  • only difference with to movie you want to load is the number of frames: use the number that you want (for example: 1000)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Because swf2avi is based upon as2, this code is also as2
    \n[as]
    \n\/\/ code in frame 1
    \nloadMovieNum(‘name_of_the_movie_you_want_to_render.swf’, 1);
    \nstopAllSounds();
    \n[\/as]\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
