Adobe SWF tool (Adobe Professional?) is hard to get and it works in Windows only (? at least no Linux version)

However you can use FFDec to export vector drawings (defineShape objects) from SWF file to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) files, modify these files and replace drawings in SWF by importing SVG back.

There are some difficulties because many graphic editors converts vector graphic to raster (bitmap) image which renders drawing almost useless for Flash. Some other editors use some SVG features not supported by Flash, so no way.

However, I found an editor that works just fine with Flash SVGs: Inkscape

It's free and available for all operating systems.

Thanks to this editor, I just created undressed sprites for 6 characters that I couldn't until now because cloth drawing was part of body drawing. Also in 1/2 cases nipples are missing (copied from another sprite) and always slit is missing (had to draw).
Example is Library cafe waitress sprite (referred as Armacool in some now deleted wiki if I remember)

So now everyone can draw missing body parts.
I have to watch Inkscape tutorial series on Youtube first to use it the right way. But I haven't drawn in last 30 years and I was not good at as a kid, so I'm gonna pretty suck.

Sorry I've been absent lately, my life almost quite literally crumbled before my eyes. I'm back, really tired as of late, but I still want to finish genus support. Flash is being incompetent (as usual) and I cannot pirate CS6 because no one has it. I can draw in flash fine, but the actual .fla project file isn't saved properly. I can export sprites no problem however, so would you be able to create the animated sprite from all the states if I draw them all? so far I have all of the feral canines, all the equines (I learned how to draw stripes pretty well), lion and panther. For a lot of these I also want to add tails as well since that's something else that was never finished.

I was thinking that I would save individual sprites for each genus and you could combine them all into one sprite. This way I could create one genus and export so I don't lose progress. If you can't that's fine I'll figure out a way

I can always convert

okay, here's a standalone. I made this to be implemented very easily into any scene. It's in Shockwave format if that works

Clearly needs polishing, but glad the system works!
