Convert Swf to Image

Question

Is there an application (or a path in coldfusion / VB.net) to be able to convert swf to an image file? It should be of good quality and should not be too slow.

Sample code (using a fixed preload time)

Set SWFToImage = CreateObject("SWFToImage.SWFToImageObject") SWFToImage.InputSWFFileName = "PRELOAD1://movie_with_dynamic_data.swf" SWFToImage.ImageOutputType = 1 ' set output image type to Jpeg (0 = BMP, 1 = JPG, 2 = GIF) SWFToImage.Execute_Begin ' start conversion SWFToImage.FrameIndex = 1 ' set frame index SWFToImage.Execute_GetImage SWFToImage.SaveToFile "movie_with_dynamic_data.jpg" SWFToImage.Execute_End ' end conversion

You can export directly from Adobe flash to PNG.

Or you can use swftools .

 swfrender file.swf -o output.png
