I'm just wondering if this is still not possible... might it be someone has developed some kind of software to do exactly this? I have a client who has output files (flash-based) that have to be updated to HTML5, but they don't have the original .story files (from another vendor).
You can get some assets from the files. It is still a full rebuild. No quick and simple solution. I just did a Danish Fire Safety course, I don’t understand Danish must have completed the course 20 times.
A LONG time ago, I had a tool which could "unbake" a SWF back to an .FLA, because at that point the underlying code was still present. Once Macromedia made fundamental changes to the codebase and released the upgrade to Flash, the underlying code was no longer present in the SWF and the tool became worthless.
It's kinda like asking somebody to reverse-engineer a printed magazine back into its QuarkXpress or Adobe InDesign file(s).

Sorry not possible, you can probably get some assets back from the zip file.
It maybe you can find the lost file in your temp files.

You can get the text using SnagI; as Phil mentioned, some asserts can be acquired but you still have to re-do the full module.
