i have a .swf file which i want to edit. How would i go about editing the graphics used in the animation?
for example...the character in the animation is George W. Bush...how can i change it to sumthing else?
i have attached the file and any information would be helpful.
i use Macromedia MX Studio
Import the SWF into Flash, and edit it there. You won't have the level of flexibility that the original author did, because the SWF will come in as one layer. The original was probably a multi-layer file.
ive opened it with flash...but im pretty new to this. I still didnt kno how to edit the graphics...i also tried using free hand aswell. it only seems to play the file when i open it..i dont see anything that allows me to edit it
if u have time take a look at the file and maybe give me sum more input or info on editing the graphics used
Sorry; not gonna do that. I'm sure it's a legitimate file and all, but I don't open zipped files offered up by anonymous individuals who join message boards just to ask people to open zipped files. It's a little quirk I have...
o...your right
but the forum doesnt let me upload .swf types
...is there another way u prefer...where u feel less at risk? Its not a virus...i juss really want to make the animation.
How did you obtain the swf? If the author of that piece wanted to allow you to edit it they would have provided the fla file.
Pat Hacker, Visit Scooter's World.
you could use "Sothink SWF Decompiler"
with this program you can take from swf file all the grafics sounds action script...etc.
i only use this program to get ideas from other animators but never ever use something from another animator because that would be stilling.
i hope this info would help you.
