How Flash Shapes Work
From M-Gate Labs Wiki
Flash shapes are not anything like SVG paths. In a SWF files shapes are stored as an array of lines. Each line contains a stroke, and two fills. In order to make SVG shapes all lines have to be grouped together, ordered and then joined to form coherent shapes. Flash Exploit is able to convert SWF shapes to SVG by using one of the two available conversion plug-ins.
