Yes but you need to buy it, and it only works from Windows.

It also can not manipulate images in other ways, or is directly usable
from commandline, PHP, Perl, C or many other languages.

However the previous   SWF utilities tool "swfextract"
   http://www.swftools.org/

Can be used under unix systems and the command line, and
could be added as a delegate to IM.

In fact if I get time I may even use it as a 'how to add a delegate'
example in IM Examples.  :-)

Or someone could write an Example set one for inclusion in IM examples.
See rough notes for it in
