Editing Flash Vidieos?

[Neomage]

I recently found a really amazing flash vidieo that contains alot of thumbshots that I want to incorperate into a flash avatar. I can't just slap the whole thing on there because some of the pictures are inappropriate/to big but some are just amazing. Anyway, I want to know if there is somewhere/way/program I can downsize some of the slides as well as edit out the slides I don't want(or make a new slide with the onces I do want, in truth I only want mabye 10 outta over 50)?

I think you're going to have to buy a copy of Adobe Flash Professional or whatever it is that is used to create Flash videos, unless you can find an OSS alternative or something.

Flash has two different kinds of files, the .fla which is editable, and the .swa which is the published version. If you have the original flash file you can open it up and pull the files out, but you'll need Flash. If it's an .swa you're better off pausing the video and using your Print Screen function.

Yes. You are going to have to.... Pur...chase... Flash.

But yes, as mentioned, if the file is a .fla then you can pull the images out yourself. If not, use some sort of screenshot program to capture the images and then use those elsewhere. Good luck.

Well... I managed to use ImageReady to convert it to a Photoshop Document that plays the flash just fine, but I can't figure out how to convert it into a file to upload as an avatar...

If it's going to be animated (changing between different pictures) it has to be saved as a .gif. Otherwise it can be .jpg or any other image type these forums support.
