Anyone know of any command line tools available out there that can convert Flash assets to PNG assets? I have a large number of Flash assets that I will eventually need to (finally) convert over. Hoping there are some easy tools out there available.

swfextract from the swftools package should be able to do it.

`swfextract file.swf` should list resources in it, then `swfextract -p 12 file.swf` will get the PNG with id 12.

swf is just a generic container like a zip, so there's plenty of tools to actually extract the original resources from there (no "conversion" necessary, that is).
