[Nathan Lavertue]

http://www.futurecandy.com/ - Gordon is an application which
can decompile an .swf (or thereabouts). I've used it on a few
projects of mine. However, Mitch makes a good point, using
Flash developer would allow  you to make changes to the new
version of the document with the possibilities for future
changes.

On a side note... where the heck have these Flash developers
gone?  A little over a year ago they couldn't get any work...
now they can't be found. Weird.

... sorry for the delay to the conversation.
