extract sound from a fla

There is an .fla file that has a sound wave in it's library. However I do not have this sound wave saved on my computer so I can not edit or open this sound in another application. I was wanting to know if its possible to extract this *.wav file from out of the fla library? I did some research and they said to goto export movie and export it as an *.wav file. However I tried this it exported the whole fla file as one big *.wav dud. I tried to play it and nothing happened which makes sense.

Is it possible to extract .wave files from a .fla library. if so, can someone elaborate more on how to go about doing so.

Ok I know this is an old post, but if your using cs5 and above all you need to do is copy your .fla, change the extension to .zip, open the .zip go to file/library and than grab the audio file.

  1. Right-click on the asset in the Library -> "Copy"
  2. Create a new file
  3. Right-click on the Library of the new file -> "Paste"
  4. Click and drag the file onto the stage
  5. Adjust (expand) the timeline so that it covers the whole audio
  6. "File" -> "Export Movie"
  7. "WAV Audio"

I tried to export was WAV, but couldn't find the option.

Don't know if it will help, because what I did is a bit long winded, but here goes:

  1. I imported a .WAV file into the library
  2. I've set it on the main timeline(as if you were to copy your wav file to new document and place it on the timeline) and set it to Stream
  3. I've made the stage size 1 X 1 pixels ( not sure if necessary though :))
  4. I've chosen File > Export Movie > QuickTime
  5. In the QuickTime settings I've ticked off Video and Prepare for Internet Streaming
  6. I've noticed the quicktime movie was the exact size as the wav file, not sure if it's a coincidence. I imported it into Soundbooth and Saved it as a wav with the settings it had ( 44100Hz, 16bit, Mono in my case)

HTH, George
