A command-line tool to convert SWF to SVG?

Question

I need to convert a whole bunch of static SWFs to SVGs and I was hoping that there was some sort of command line tool I could use so I could script it with PowerShell. Does anyone know of such an application?

Solution 1

Sourceforge seems to have an SWF to SVG converter.

http://swf2svg.sourceforge.net/

Or, the other way around

http://svg2swf.sourceforge.net/

Solution 2

Research In Motion's development kit has a command line utility for this. You can get it in the dev kit here. The file is in the bin directory and is called swftosvg.exe.

Usage:
swftosvg [-help] [-version] [-o 'outputfile'] [-d 'imagedir'] 'inputfile'.swf
Options:
-help
display this help message
-version
display product version
-o
write the result of the conversion to 'outputfile' [default: 'inputfile'.svg]
-d
write converted images to directory 'imagedir' [default: same directory as 'outputfile']

Actually, all of the SWFs I have are static.

Also, I know it can be done, as I've done it in the past, but I can't remember the app I used because it was two years ago.

@blesh doesn't matter, they generally aren't... SWF and SVG are two very different kind of files...

I've done it in the past. So yes, it can be done. In fact, there's a [web tool to do it][1], but what I'm looking for is a command line tool to do it. [1]: eprg.org/~sgp/swf2svg.html

@blesh I see... Another thing learned today :)

I also found SWFRIP on sourceforge, but it doesn't do anything from the command line.

This, unfortunately is a web-based application. As the title of the question states, I need to automate this from a command-line, with no dependencies on an internet connection.

Sorry, I followed the link to the source code and missed the "Web converter tool" midway down the page. The svg2swf tool is command line so I stupidly assumed the swf2svg was too.

@blesh: I think the web tool you referenced is a bit outdated. "only been tested with Flash 3 files".
