Get picture from swf file

[zoran404]

So I'm making a game and I needed pictures for my tank and for enemies, so I found this game on the internet which has exactly the stuff I need. So I downloaded it and searched for something toget those images out of that swf file, but couldn't find anything that would work.
Dose anyone know how to get images from a game in swf format?

You aware that you'd break the copyright of the creator of the swf file?

You can't just 'steal' others work and it's never a good idea to use such copyrighted content "just" for the developing phase etc. because at the end you might not take them out and if the owner finds out, he could potentially sue you.

So you should either ask the creator of that game, if you could use the graphics (and he might even give them to you) or you should go and make use of free content. There are hundreds of websites with such content, one popular one with also quite a few public domain releases is OpenGameArt.org.

Besides that, have you even googled for your problem? I bet one can find an answer within a few minutes.

I don't think he would mind if I take his pictures, it dosen't look like that is a real big game.
And I did googled for softwere to get pictures, but as I said I didn't found anything that worked.
Thanks for the link, I found the tank pictures I needed.

It doesn't matter, the copyright law does apply to every work, not just the famous ones.
E.g. if you steal some money from a rich guy, just because he has so much and probably won't even notice, it doesn't make you less of a criminal, as when you steal from a poor guy.

If you think some creator wouldn't mind, then you can simply go and contact them. Developers are usually very open and also like to give things away, but just taking stuff from someone is wrong.
