[FSUG-Bangalore] swf file converter?

do any one of you came across any free convertors which could convert swf files to free formats, i searched a lot and currently able to play using swfdec on ubuntu .9.10 , i have not upgraded for several reasons and on 10.10 the swf files are not playing ,

kindly point to any links if you have come across which would adress the above mentioned problem

tried installing all packages still unable to play those files , also i want to play at a particular position ( i want to start at a position i want and pause however i want --- typical player features is what i meant )

thanks in advance
