Hi guys. I want to convert a flash swf to an exe, I can’t use the built in flash exe publisher as this is for the company I work for, and so I need to get rid of all branding/anything that points to the fact that it was made in flash. I’ve looked at screenswift and a few others, but they all seem to be $200+, does anybody know of a decent, low cost swf to exe program? ---

Um… Why would you want that? ---

So our customers can have my flash app on their desktop without having to have flash player installed. There are quite a few programs that do it, but most of what I’ve seen have it as part of a larger set of flash tools which I don’t need. ---

Well flash can do it- try doing that, and opening up resHacker and switching the flash icon and title to your own. Edit: Ok, I’ve done the hard part for you- to change the title, go to “1” under “String Table”, those are the titles for various languages. Make your change, press compile script and save. Edit #2: And to remove any trace of flash, go to Menu/604 and delete everything under popup"x" { and above the next “}”, press compile script and save to remove the right click menu. Edit #3: Actually, you could leave the last entry ([size=2]MENUITEM “&About Macromedia Flash Player 7…”, 20044), switch it with “About (your program name)”, and then edit dialogue/401/1033 to show info about it.[/size][size=2] [/size] ---

Meh, true, but I’d already started it before I saw your post, but I might as well continue. ---
