no havoc, i think you're getting flash variables and generator variables
confused. the swfs (they're actually swts) that the banking system uses are
dynamically generated that only work within your session and per request at
that. you could decompile the swt with a hex editor \ ASViewer i suppose,
if you could get a hold of it those very secure swts from the very secure
file system (unlikely), but all you would just see are place holders for
data and actionscripts. somewhat like this: {my account}, {my cashola} go
to label {my label} load movie {mycheckingmovie}, even the data sources are
variables {my data source}.

check out generator, the server component of flash and what built the web
application you saw. i think that will give you an idea of what's possible.
