Hi
I'd try to use mplayer/mencoder to export the frames as jpegs and import those into whatever you want. Mplayer can play the .swf files and should be able to export to jpegs (since it can do anything upto getting you new beer, if you know how to work it's knobs)
<google attempt>
This site: http://www.linuxtutorialblog.com/post/tutorial-playing-around-with-mplayer (somewhere 3/4 of the way) says it could be done by something like: mplayer -vo jpeg <your .swf file>
However, it comes with a warning
"Warning: the above command will output a huge amount of jpeg files. I strongly recommend to do this in a freshly made, empty directory created for this purpose."
Because the presentation will have only a low frame rate this MAY not be a big deal. However if the makers decided there should be 20 frames per second (or the software was that stupid) and you have 45 minutes of presentation the resulting mount of pictures will be: 45*60*20=54000....... So be forewarned. Although maybe there is some way to test with only a couple of seconds of swf.
Interesting.
Maybe it can be converted to some other kind of video, one that you can browse forward and back, and then print to file selected frames.

Hi
yes it can. If you google a bit you'll find a lot of pages explaning a bit of how to handle mencoder
mencoder movie.swf -o movie.mpg -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -of mpeg
is the solution as offered by http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_MEncoder_Tips_and_Tricks (although I changed movie.wmv to movie.swf) to convert to .mpg.

OK, let's come back to the topic. See, *.swf can be convert to which kind of file just based on what contained in the swf If, you just want images, it is easy to print it to *.pdf While if you r going to make the video.swf to pdf, Hard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
