Why? So you can decompile them and steal their content? Their not that dumb.

If Hasbro publically released the SWF files, people could decompile them and get their hands on all the animation assets. Someone would get their ass handed to them if that happened.

I was just about to say the same thing.

Besides, they simply can't release the SWFs, because the final results are not SWFs anymore. Some post production and after effects are applied in the end.

And .SWF files don't quite have the support regular ol' video does. And why would it imply a better resolution? You're still stuck with the same screens, many of which don't need more than 1080p. Not to mention, how or why a better resolution in the first place? You gonna zoom in? Seems pointless. And you can't render it higher unless you had Flash 8, all of Studio B's custom plugins, AND the .FLAs, which is most certainly out of the question. (Or you could use a screen capture program like FRAPs, I guess. Seems like a lot of trouble, though.)

If you really need a higher resolution than 1080p - are you in a theater or something? - then you could probably either petition some sort of movement or maybe negotiate something with Hasbro, assuming you're in such a position.

Or someone could painstakingly vector every single frame from every single episode. Which still sounds like a lot of trouble.

No, no, there's absolutely no point or reason to having the .SWF files at all.

There are already plenty of pony vectors online, from fans and from the Flash games. I don't see it being that big a problem.

That's also another thing. And, it's likely not a single .SWF file. I don't pretend to know how Studio B operates, don't get me wrong. But even Andrew Hussie agrees that Flash isn't good for big animations. They probably do scenes isolated in one .SWF and render them all separately, putting them together in post or something, keeping it modular. Again, just a guess. If that were the case, it wouldn't be convenient for people to have the Flash files if they want to view the episode. It'd be big, messy, not nearly as convenient as video.

It won't make a difference to your eyes, unless you have a huge ass screen and you're pressing your nose against it.

If you decomplie a whole episode, you would get everything in that episode. Even the voices. So, no, they can't realize the .swf's. And it's their content. Vectors and games are done by fans.

OP doesn't get how a entertainment company works, it would lose money if it gave out what is basically the assets.

Maybe OP doesn't get how SWF files work.

From what I remember reading about how the episodes are made, they use Flash and some post-production software (Adobe After effects, perhaps.) I'm sure the music, vocals and sound effects are added in a video editing program, not the SWF file itself.
