Script to convert SWF files into Images

[Anathakrishnan]

I wanna convert some of my swf file into static images. I have been
trying to convert the swf files into flv files and then take a snapshot
via ffmpeg to create a thumbnail. However, it is converting swf into
flv, but without any frame to take a snapshot from.

I wanna ask whether anyone has or refer to some script which can
take a snapshot of swf file and can make an image of that on the fly ?
