Sorry. This site is not of any use for me. :/
That's a shame :(

It's the only one I've ever come across over the years. I've seen other sites try and 'pass it off' as their own material. But that's the 'source' !

Hello potworny,

could you say why the link didn't help?
is it that you need the code in another format? or did you receive an error?

bruintje
First of all, I don't know what this code is. What do I compile it with?
it's c#, later at work i'll compile it

and will see if it works then post the resulting exe for download
embedded a swf into a powerpoint presentation

next ran the code as an exe on it, but no swf extracted you can get it here
source: http://www.traktiq.net/ee_temp/FlashExtract.zip

it's a commandline tool, and you can run it on a copy of your file like
flashextract "path + filename here without the quotes"

to be sure i stepped through the code but that just ran through my file without finding an swf

and to be doubly sure i used a tool like source: http://www.19.5degs.com/element/157.php but even that didn't result in MY swf file it just gave and empty swf in the directory, so i probably do something wrong
Hi, bruintje, it hasn't worked for me neither.

Thank you for the help in compiling the source :)
Can this question be 'abandoned' but still left on EE so others can see how for we got ? For Future Reference
