  2. Hi Iposted the previous comment, I just wanted to add that I am not a programmer and so don't know what to do with the code. Please help.

  3. As you've already seen this product is a development library for others to use to build app's to convert swf's to jpg's...

    And due to IP (intellectual property) concerns I'm afraid I can't program you something to help (I signed a contract with my current employer which in short says, "I think it, they own it").

    BUT in taking a quick look at the examples (C:\Program Files\SWF To Image\Examples) it should be easy for you to tweak the sample (easy for me to say) ...

    1. Create a copy of the "C:\Program Files\SWF To Image\Examples\Convert SWF to JPG.vbs"
    (Assuming you've already downloaded and installed it in the default location).

    2. Copy your SWF into the "C:\Program Files\SWF To Image\Examples" folder.

    3. Rename the copy to "convertme.swf"

    4. Open the "Copy of Convert SWF to JPG.vbs" in Notepad.

    5. Change the line:
    SWFToImage.InputSWFFileName = "sample.swf"

    To:
    SWFToImage.InputSWFFileName = "convertme.swf"

    6. Change the line:
    SWFToImage.SaveToFile "sample.jpg"

    To:
    Change the line:
    SWFToImage.SaveToFile "convertme.jpg"

    7. Save the file.

    8. Now in Windows Explorer, double click on the "Copy of Convert SWF to JPG.vbs" file.

    This should (key word) run the vbs (VB Script) file, and convert the "convertme.swf" into the "convertme.jpg"

    I hope this helps a little,
    Greg

  4. Thanks for the clear guidelines given. I have successfully converted all frames of the swf to jpg but the size of the jpg pictures have been reduced so much. May I know if it is possible to retain the size of the jpg image as that of the swf?

    Many thanks in advance

  6. This is an old thread, but Greg I hope your not still with that same employer. They should in no way own the rights to stuff you coded off the clock. They don't own you, they're just renting some of your hours in the day.
