lost fource fla, still have swf (hard drive failure)

A year ago I experienced a hard drive failure, lost a lot of .fla files. I have

a swf (my own work) that I want to import so that I can access the asset files 
(images, video). Naturally, when I open the swf, it plays, but if I attempt to 
import it, I get an empty timeline.

 Is there a way to import the swf and extract the assets? (I seem to remember 
doing in Flash 5 long ago).

I've encountered the same issue and resultant needs in having lost my original 
Flash "fla" files due to a burglary at my home. I've retrieved the
converted 
"swf" files from my website server, and would LOVE to know if anyone
can 
provide help in accessing them within a Flash document ("fla").

 I spoke with an Adobe tech (FYI) and found that as far as "Adobe" can
help:

 1. You can import your "Library" from the previous ".swf"
files by:

     a. Opening a new project in Flash.
     b. Once inside your new document: Open: File > Import > Import to
Library 
(not "Stage").
     c. Navigate to the ".swf" file you wish to access and select it
for Import.
     d. Your "Library" items from the ".swf" file are then
imported to your new 
".fla" document's Library.
     e. I have not found a way of retrieving any other settings, codes, 
timeline events, etc.

 In my case I had selected the options for protection from download, etc. when 
creating my ".swf" files??all so that they would be
"protected" on the web. 
Unfortunately, this has made it very likely impossible for me to access them as

well.

 There may be some third-party product or workaround for this situation.

 DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM?
