i wonder if you can do it

You’ll need a file conversion website outside of scratch to do that.

I don't know about .fla, as I've never heard it before, but .swf files are literal Shockwave Flash files that can be used to run on Adobe Flash, these contain animations and games. They are not images, and thus, you can't convert them to .svg files.

.fla files are animations created using Adobe Animate, so these can't be converted to SVG either.

I know that the venerable JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler (an open source tool that is essentially the tool for decompiling and modifying Flash movies/games) can export frames in a .swf file as .svg images, but for some reason, Scratch can't import those images correctly (every shape gets scrunched up to the corner) - which is odd, considering that these images pass the W3C Validator without any errors, and they render correctly when opened in another program, such as the browser.

I also believe that Adobe Animate may have the ability to export all of the frames in your animation as .svg images, but I'm not sure if you need to install an Animate extension to enable this or if it comes with the program.

scratch-paint and scratch-svg-renderer both only implement the SVG features needed by Scratch.

alright i'm gonna level with you. fla files are basically groups of svg files that create an animation together. there Is a way to convert it. but the only method i know of requires a windows computer and i only have an android phone. if anyone knows any sort of other methods to convert please say so as this is something that can help a LOT with scratch project quality.
