Hey, I found a .swf with this sound file I want to extract as an mp3. I decompiled it to a .fla, but I don't know how to extract the sound as an mp3 or if it's even possible at all.
Can this be done? It's a one of those background music that loops. There are some other stuff I want to take from other .swf too, but I don't know how.

Before I even touch this one... I have to ask:
Is the .swf public? (That is to say, do you either have permission to use it or it is clearly designated as a for public use? specifically including the right to decompile it?)
If the anwser is no to any of those. Stop right there. No permission means you shouldn't be doing it.

I found the .swf on 4chan a long time ago. I thought the song was catchy so I just want to rip it so I can listen to it when I'm doing stuff.
It's open to the public.
A .mp3 is useless in flash until you import it to a library right? When I decompiled it, it was placed in a library so I figure theres no harm in taking the song out right?
I also wanna mention, I don't decompile to steal. I just wanna know what was done to make so and so flash.

holy, this is complicated, first you have to run through the file and even after that, you COULD if possible send the file to your email account os you can extraxt it from there

Flash... What you've suggested isn't going to help extract a sound file from a .swf file. If they have it on their computer already what's the point of uploading it to the web?
And I'm sorry but I won't help you because of my view that: decompiling without permission is almost as bad as stealing. You have no right to take apart someone else's work for any reason. (Unless you have previously obtained permission.)

It's not stealing is fair use. If I make money, then it's stealing.
If it will make you feel any better, I can decompile a site that my teacher made and come back here asking how to extract a sound file off the .fla as an mp3.
