Converting *.swf to *.avi

[Reji]

Hello!

I’d like to write an app for converting *.swf to *.avi
Is there any Flash Player ActiveX to do this?

Best regards,
Reji

flash and activex are two different technologies. i think your looking for an sdk that will provide you with the functionality so you can make a GUI and have it call out to the sdk functions and then call it 'your own' and then you'll show it to your friends and family so that they think your a 1337 h4ck3r d00d. sorry, don't know any.

swf and avi are completely different technologies. avi files are JUST movies, with no interaction. swf files are programs that can potentially interact with the user. What you are looking to do is highly non-trivial.

Found one! F-IN-BOX
A developer's library to enhance Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX features.
One of F-IN-BOX features:...Get a snap image of the current flash movie frame.

Allso you can use the FFMpeg terminal with out the console, this i seem to think is the best,

Just have you app run the ffmpeg with the commands you would use in the terminal, you can google them to find them

I think what your actually looking for is to make a FLV to AVI converter rather than SWF to AVI converter.

It's really swf to avi.
Plus with F-IN-BOX I can get a snap image of any frame in timiline.

how about using a swf to avi converter? as far as i know, swfkits.com has that kind of software

Can i Just make this Clear a Flash Movie is not a video,

SWF = Flash Movie
FLV = Flash Video File
AVI = Video File

SWF have Code in them like an Application, to the point you can decompile them using sothinks SWF Decompiler and get every thing out of the all files they use and all code they use SWF is not a film stop trying to convert it

The SWF file might have a fixes path in to the film but if you convert an SWF it wont work unless some numpty has named a *.flv to a *.swf file
