Default need help with Flash decompiler/changing text

Hi all,
I recently took over a site for a friend of a friend and they need a simple address change made. The thing is, the entire site is done in Flash. Two problems:

1)I downloaded the site from the server and of course there are no .fla files.

2) I haven't worked on any site using Flash in years, although I do have Flash 8 as part of the Dreamweaver 8 Suite.

Now to the first problem, I downloaded a Flash decompiler and was able to convert the index.swf so I can see the text file. Is there an easy way to get in and just fix one text file without messing up all of the other files? I've read through the help files of the decompiler and am just getting more confused.

The web site is: http://www.osvaldofreitas.com/

This seems like it should be so simple but it's making me feel like a dope!!! I appreciate any and all help you can give me. Thanks!
Laura

The decomplier should rip the .swf to an .fla. Open the .fla and make the edits, then test the movie to create the revised .swf

That site looks like a single flash file so you're probably looking in the library for movie clips generally called page1, page2, etc.

It's a drag the person who edited that template didn't give the site owner the source files. I'd probably center the flash on the page too.

Hi webchickey06. What Flash decompiler did you use for this? I've been looking for a good one, but have not found one yet. Thanks.
