Example

Identify objects

Without arguments, swfextract will identify the objects contained in the *.swf file:

$ swfextract zoxdgeysjn6.swf
Objects in file zoxdgeysjn6.swf:
 [-i] 2 Shapes: ID(s) 1, 3
 [-p] 1 PNG: ID(s) 2
 [-F] 1 Font: ID(s) 4
 [-f] 1 Frame: ID(s) 0

Extract objects

Once you have identified the interesting objects, you can extract them using the appropriate argument (specified on the left of the object) and ID (specified on the right of the object).

In the above example, if we want to extract the PNG file, we should issue the following command:

$ swfextract -p 2 zoxdgeysjn6.swf

The above command has extracted the PNG file (output.png):

$ file output.png 
output.png: PNG image data, 250 x 66, 8-bit colormap, non-interlaced
