Unlock SWF

Unlock SWF provides you with a very useful tool to convert protected SWF (Shockwave Flash) files into totally editable ones. Supporting SWF versions up to 7, Unlock SWF can still be used nowadays although its development has been halted back in 2003. The main goal of this particular piece of software is to save a protection-free 6 or 7 version of an already open file.
The interface of the application is as simple as it gets and encases the basic features for protection and debugging as well as the information regarding the loaded SWF file. You get details such as filename and path, SWF version, frame rate, frame count, size, protected, compressed or debug for Flash enabled boolean value readings.
You can quickly choose to disable the protection for importing the SWF file into any editor or add an empty password fake protection. These comes very handy for the SWF files that have been protected during the movie export operation within the Adobe Flash application or any other SWF maker sporting this feature. As source files can be easily lost, the only file that usually survives is the SWF file and this is where Unlock SWF bring your source code back.
For total control over your SWF stored code, the Debugging for Flash 5 / MX options add depth to the whole process as it unleashes more stored information such as debugging with breakpoints. Furthermore, Unlock SWF helps you compress the file you are about to save in order to save as much disk space and time as possible.
All in all, Unlock SWF can do wonders for you in case you misplace your Flash source code for your animations as long as their version is not newer than 7. This being the only drawback of the application, Unlock SWF brings the right tools to the workbench and a smile or two to the faces of those that somehow managed to lose their FLA files.
