Hi All,

How to convert a swf file to an exe file at runtime using a flash application. Suggestions are welcomed.

You can convert a .swf into a projector file (.exe) by double-clicking the .swf to run it, and select Create Projector, under the File Menu.
Or in the Flash application's Publish Settings (under File)you can create both a Windows or Mac projectors by checking the appropriate boxes.

Projector is good when you don't expect too much. But if you want to be more precise, check FlashStudio Pro at

It converts swf files to executables and allow to set many useful options for that exe.

hi all,

Thanks for the response guys. What i need is? i want to develop an application in flash which converts more than one SWF into an exe file.

Lets say, im going to create layouts, icons and BG's in flash and store it in a repository. All the objects stored are in SWF files. My application developed in flash should select the different layouts/icons/BG's and combine it to a exe format. Hope i explained it to you guys clearly.

Thanks again for the response.

Regards,
Kishore

I understand that you don't want to compile all your movies into one single exe - in that case you can use and abuse loadMovie() for the things you want to do, it should work just fine. And if you want to build something more complex, I suggest you to build your movie(s) in Flash, as desired, and use Macromedia Director for the compilance of your final application - this should satisfy you.
