I am working on a site for selling Guitar lessons. These lessons are swf movies and my client previously had them packaged into EXE files using m-projector <snip/>. My client basically wants to the files protected, that is why we are not embedding them into html for users to view directly in their browser. Is there an open-source software package for creating EXES from swf files. Are there other ways to package and password protect swf files. I am a PHP developer and not a flash guru. Please help!
Thanks
Give FlashDevelop a try: Main Page - FlashDevelop
It takes a little bit to set up, but it’s not too bad. You can get the Flex SDK and it’s all completely free and legit.
I actually prefer FlashDevelop over Adobe Flash for just about everything but animations. =p
Thanks for the link. I’ll give it a try!
Flash itself will output as an exe ( a projector) or mac app.
Northcode have a similar application to m-projector, swf studio, of which an old version (2.5) is available for free.
Thanks for the Northcode tip!
If you have the uncompiled code, you can create a projector director (with any of the mentioned options).
If you don’t, you’ll have to basically create a wrapper for the SWF you have and then compile that wrapper into an exe.
@samanime: Thanks so much. I’m still at work and have not yet tried out any of the tips posted above.
Wow this forum is really very helpful. I sure hope I’ll be able to help others the way I have been helped.
