Convert .SWF to .FLA

I have a .swf of a flash movie file I made a while back for a website. (You can see the flash file at go-teca.org) It's run by my dad, and I can assure you I am the one who wrote the file. Anywho, the time has come to go off and update the images, and of course I lost the original .fla file. Even better yet, apparently Macromedia Flash doesn't let you edit the .swf files. (It opens them in the flash player.)

I really need to be able to edit this file, because I don't want to have to start over again from scratch. The only tools I've seen cost about $50 min, and I really don't have money to shell out for the sake of one file... Can someone give me a hand? Thanks!

PS: I don't just need a tool to replace stuff, I've seen those, because I need to do some actual re-arranging of stuff within the file, and I need to tag some extra animation on the end.

Cool! I got one of the trial programs to go ahead and do the conversion for me. I had to clean it a bit, but it still worked. Thanks!
