Sothink SWF Decompiler MX 2002 Pro

Another Flash MX Actionscript decompiler, with the most of the same features as Actionscript Viewer 3 and more. Seems to me that this company and Buraks are going to be competing for each others business, the only problem i can see is that Buraks has been known throughout the flash community since version 4, as the ‘One and only Actionscript Decompiler’, might be a bit late for some competition to come onto the scene…

On a high note, this application by Sothink has some nifty features which have caught my attention and could give the Actionscript Viewer a run for its money, not only is it only $40, this sounds nice:

“Sothink SWF Decompiler can extract the shapes, sounds, images, sprites, fonts, text and action scripts from a Flash movie. Besides SWF format, the resources can be exported in several formats so you can use them in other applications. The images can be exported in jpeg and bmp formats. The sounds can be exported in mp3 and wav formats. The action scripts can be exported to text file(s). The shapes can be exported in Sothink Glanda format.”

and so does this:

“After you install Sothink SWF Decompiler, a small button of Decompiler will be added on Internet Explorer’s toolbar. While you are viewing a page including flash, click Decompiler button or right-click and select “Sothink SWF Decompiler” to get the flash movie file.”

Very neat! Might be one to add to your toolbox.
