no, not that I am aware of.

Flash might let you save the original .fla as an image sequence, and if not I know it lets you save as an avi, which you can save as an image sequence with lots of different software, then you could make an animation however you like.

All this is dependant on you having the original .fla, though. I dunno if there is a decompiler-type thing for .swf files. I'm sure you wouldn't wanna rip anyone else's animation anyway.

hrmmm.... I'm not familiar with swift 3d. Is .swf format the normal flash format? I'm lost, sorry. when you said .swf i assumed you were talking about a macromedia flash file?

If so, it won't let you save in any other format? I dunno if there is anything out there that will let you work on a .swf. There might be something out there to "decompile" them, but I'm not familiar with it. If you can save as a .fla, I'm sure you can get what you need to do done.
