No. I tried. Good thought though.
I have a new copy of Shockwave Flash Studio at home I haven't loaded yet. When I get home after work I'll load my .swf file and see how I might be able to manipulate it with that software.
So far, all converters I have tried have puked when trying to convert the .swf to any other format.
Thanks for the response. I see, upon retracing my steps a bit, that someone upthread posted a link to the website of that talented songwriter. A copy of that video file now resides on my hard drive. It'll be a big hit with a number of my e-mail buddies; thanks for bringing it to my attention. :-)
