Review for the Best Flash Decompiler – Sothink SWF Decompiler

Sothink SWF Decompiler can help you easily convert SWF to Flash document (*.fla), or convert the SWF made by FLEX back to FLEX source code. So even in the case of losing original FLA file or Flex project, you still get a perfect solution to make further alterations in native Flash or Flex environment.

You need this SWF Decompiler if you:

Have to edit Flash SWF in Adobe Flash, but lost the original FLA file.
Need to edit Flash SWF in Adobe Flex Builder 3, only to find that your original Flex project files were lost.
Want to create your own Flash works, but couldn’t find enough resources.
Wish to decompile ActionScript of some good Flash movies for study or reuse.

I was lucky to find this excellent SWF Decompiler on the Internet once I needed to alter a Flash demo created by a former colleague. The only file he left was a SWF, so I searched on the Internet to find a SWF decompiler which can convert SWF to FLA. There are several Flash decompiling tools I found, but after software experience and carefully comprehensive comparison, I finally chose Sothink SWF Decompiler. It is the first Flash decompiling tool emerged into the market, and I think it is still the best one.

Now let me share my first impression to this Flash decompiler:

Office 2007-style user interface: friendly and intuitive
