Guys,
Flash is alot easier to learn from scratch than photoshop is. I have been using flash for about 2 years now and I know all the actionscripting off by heart, I have been using photoshop for about 4 years. I know everything in that and flash was alot easier to learn.
With your question how you can find out how they made the .swf file, You can crack the code then see how they did it but not many people are willing to help you out with that as it is stealing someone's work.
You can import the .swf into flash then depending if they have a password on the .swf or not you can see how they made it. It will all be on one layer but still you will have an idea. If they have a password on it (if they are smart) then you cant do anything about from learn flash hard out like I did then you will finally learn how to do it.
Or give me a buzz and I will help you out, and tell you what you want to know about how he made it etc. I will not tell you how to crack .swf's with passwords but I will help you out by doing it then telling you how to make it ok.
Sweet
C ya
