Is it possible to extract a frame from swf flash file?

Hello!

I am looking for a way to make a thumbnail of a flash .swf
file
What I mean is I want to create a .png image of the first
frame of a 
.swf movie file. Is it possible with ImageMagick?
If not, then does anybody know a program that can do that?

I don't think ImageMagick does this.

Have a look at http://www.swftools.org/. One the utilities in the 
package they offer is called swfextract. It can extract jpeg
or png 
frames from a flash animation.

I have a HP Compaq dc7700p Convertible with Intel Core Duo
CPU - 6400 
2.13Ghz. 1.98Gb ram.

I am running convert from the command line for a simple
"convert $file.jpg
$file.png" sequence on many hundreds of files.

The files are a varied selection of RGB JPGs, filesizes from
58k to 11Mb.

At unpredictable intervals, and on different files, convert
hangs. When it
does so, it can hang for anything from a few seconds to a
couple of minutes.

An example: 100_1455.jpg is 11Mb.

Convert 100_1455.jpg 100_1455.png takes only about 2 seconds
to run
normally.

I can repeat the command line many times and obtain the same
2 second
runtime, but then at no predictable interval the process
will hang and take
60-90 seconds.

I have run a test pattern repeatedly using the same 20
images in a batch
file, measuring the processing time and recording the
results and can
establish no pattern related to filesize.

I have modified/restore some system optimisation settings
but with no
differing result.

My only conclusion is that convert is having a problem with
this processor.

Can anybody point me to a resolution?

Mike

If you are working on a Windows machine, you can use the
freeware tool 
IrfanView to perform this job. Make sure that the plug-ins
are installed.

P.S.: Since one month, I get an error message each time that
I write to 
the list, telling me that my message has been rejected. I
though get it 
back from the list, sometimes with feedback from the
addressee.

Is there anyone over here meeting the same difficulties who
could tell 
me how to stop that?
