[gentoo-user] De-compiling shockwave flash files.

[Stroller]

I want to extract some video from a Shockwave Flash (.SWF) file.... a  
little Googling reveals they're "containers" and that lots of other  
content can be stored within them.

I see loads & loads of demo or shareware "decompilers" for windows  
which will allow the video &c to be extracted from a .swf but nothing  
for Linux. Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

To be honest, I have a PC & a Mac here I could run the extraction on,  
the important thing is that the software be free & unrestricted or  
preferably just Free or OSS. It's not an important job, so I'd rather  
not pay money for something I only want to use once.

Stroller.
