Hi

Can anybody recommend a good piece of software that will allow me to convert a FLA or SWF into a flash desktop application/utilities/screensaver that can sit on the users taskbar etc.

I’ve seen the open sourse stuff like screenweaver but whenever I try to make something with it I get a virus scan warning so the builds never complete. These apps are for commercial use so there cant be any links/credits to the actual software that I use etc etc

Any suggestions?

Thanks
