SWF Extractor 2.3

If you are looking for an application that allows you to extract images and sounds from Adobe Flash movies, even protected Adobe Flash movies, then you can end your search. The GlobFX Technologies-developed application, the aptly named SWF Extractor, can provide such functionality.

By using SWF Extractor you can extract sound from Flash movies – sound will be saved as WAV or MP3 files.
By using SWF Extractor you can also extract images from Flash movies – images will be saved as PNG or JPEG files.

The functionality SWF Extractor provides is never more than a mouse click away. During the installation process you are asked if you would like to “Add 'Open with SWF Extractor' to .SWF Files Actions.” This means SWF Extractor will integrate with Windows Explorer; you will wind an SWF Extractor entry in the right click context menu.

SWF Extractor allows you to preview images and sound resources before you extract them from an Adobe Flash movie. “Use the Thumbnail view mode to instantly visualize all the images and sounds included into your SWF File,” explained the developer.

Before you go get SWF Extractor and put it to the test, take a look at the technical details presented below:
Download – the download weighs in at 639KB. A less than 1MB download will complete in no time at all, even if you have to contend with a less than spectacular internet connection.
Supported OS – at the time of writing this and according to the developer, SWF Extractor provides support for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
Limitations – sounds and images are altered in the unregistered version. To have full sound and image quality you have to register the application.

Pros
