How-To Create Flash Executables...Newbie Question

Discussion in 'Graphics & Multimedia' started by stumpyPete, Feb 3, 2006.

  1. #1
    Occassionally I've come across a executable (.exe) file that appears to be a Flash file. I'm a programmer, but I know ziltch about Flash - these .exe Flash applications are perfect for a new project I'm working on - basically an a/v presentation that can be download and run like an application.

    I previously used Apple's Hypercard for a similar app, but archaeologists are probably digging up fossils of that thing by now...;)

    Could someone 1) point me to more information on how these Flash apps are created and 2) give an opinion on other alternatives (or support why Flash is the best way to go).

    stumpy, you can publish your flash file as .exe (just go to file, and choose publish setting).

    Have been told by Apple users that Flash is a no-no for them. I know bugger all about this personally, but you may want to look into it unless your project is PC only.
