FlashDigger Plus Description
Multimedia has evolved greatly throughout the years, with different compression methods used to preserve quality, but also keep file size within reasonable boundaries. One type in particular is Flash, with SWF file animations, and it is exactly the target applications like FlashDigger Plus let you manage.
Rather poor and outdated visual design
After a short installation process you can run the application to see what it’s all about. The main window is pretty compact, and can make it a bit difficult to clearly view animations and all contained objects. Some tools are activated from the upper toolbar, while others are only found in their dedicated menus.
One thing you need to know is that the application cannot create Flash animations from scratch, so you need to make sure there’s a SWF file lying around. Once opened, objects and transcript views can be toggled from dedicated tabs, while the preview area provides a little insight on what the animation holds.
Large variety of editing options
Editing benefits from a decent amount of utilities, such as creating graphic objects, updating them, adding buttons, assigning hyperlinks, various text attributes, as well as importing external objects, images, or even new SWF animations to combine.
If your main interest is not to build another Flash animation, then the reason why you’re looking inside one is to extract components. Don’t worry, there are different tools in this regard. With them, you can grab nearly anything that’s inside, ranging from pictures, to clips and the whole audio layer. Export options let you save files under popular formats.
On an ending note
To sum it up, FlashDigger Plus comes with a rich amount of features packed in a rather disappointing and outdated interface, but the overall impression tips the scale in its favor. The only sad part is that Flash is slowly dying, but it doesn’t mean that related files are going to instantly disappear. As such, you can hurry up and extract content before it’s too late.
