hello all,

I been trying to study flash and am picking it up real fast, i enjoy the animations butlook forward to actionscripting as i can really get creative.

I been studying tutorials and have recently started to download free templates online so that i can study how others are making their flash files. when i extract these downloads it says that the files are swf then i try to open them in flash 5/mx. it says that files are locked so i downloaded a swifty utility called "swfunlock" and it did open the file within flash but i wasnt able to see all the different layers and frames to that swf file.

also if i export my own swf file and then want to change it up again i cant edit it.

is there anything i can do to open swf?????

thanks in advance!
