.swf would only appear in the code if it's loading an external file
officially?
no, i don't think so...
but, there do exist some very annoying asset formats that few programs can even extract.
Some devs also use their own code and programs to make the files basically impossible to open.
I cannot rip from Crystal Saga by r2games because they've encrypted the assets, saved them as extensionless files, and obfuscated the game's source code.
There's also some means of embedding and encryting another file, typically the asset-bearing.swf directly in the 'main' .swf . I've encounted some games that do this.
Once a flash game starts breaking free of the common formats, you've got a problem. And once it breaks free of the official formats, you're probable screwed.
What game are you looking at?
Have any files to show us?
