Is there any way that you can convert an exe file to .swf/.fla? (seeing that you can make a .fla file an .exe…:-/

I need to make changes on a exe (designed from flash), but my fla file is missing?..

Please help

Think you might be out of luck. Flash doesn’t support OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) so you can’t import the .exe that way and there is no option to import an .exe directly. When you make a movie into an .exe it packages it into an un-editable format as far as flash is concerned.

There may be software out there to read .exe files and edit them that way but I don’t know of any.

Sorry.
