Flash resource extractor

I'm looking to find software that will allow me to extract vector art, images, sounds, etc. so that I can use them in my classes. It would make my job a hell of a lot easier, allowing me to "borrow" professional level stuff for my lessons. I think this would help intrinsically motivate the Ss by offering them interesting components to use in their projects.

Here are some possibilities:

• Flash Toolset
• Flash Utility
• FlashDigger Plus
• ActionScript Viewer
• WinSWF Extractor
• Gordon for MacOSX

This week's gotta do!

1. have Flash installed on computer 4
2. can Flash import audio on laptops?
3. ask to have newest version of Quicktime and Windows Media Player installed in the lab
   

Horrible lesson plan

I ran through "tweening" with my fifth year computer class yesterday. It's one of the coolest parts of working with Flash and arguably one of the most important. Yet, all I had them working with were circles and squares. The materials didn't even cover shape tweening, although I had them do some of that as well.

Next time, I gotta find some cool objects for them to work with. Better examples and more structured worksheets. I'm really not happy with my walk-thru's, but that's for a different day.

No example?

I didn't finish an example for my 5th year computer class! I should have provided them with an accurate example of what I am expecting from them so they had something to use as a point of reference. I don't want them copying the example, but they deserve something more to look at than me trying to pass off a PowerPoint presentation for their Flash project.

I'm going to have to figure a way to make tutorials for them so that they can complete certain tasks. It's very difficult to make handouts since the Ss are using a localized version of Flash MX while I'm using an English version of Flash MX 2004. It's all very confusing.
