I'm not positive about this, but I don't think it's possible. If you're familiar with Photoshop at all, I think it's like changing a photoshop edited file(.psd) to a .jpg or .gif. It's virtually impossible to change the .jpg back to the .psd file and retain all the layers that were already there because it takes all that information and just gets rid of it. Good luck on this and I would love to know if this is possible or not.

From the looks of it, this will only extract certain images, files and Flash Actionscript, but still not generate the .fla file that is needed, correct?

Yeah, but its the closest thing that I could find.

Yes, this is the ONLY thing possible. You cannot create a FLA from a published SWF.
