Flash EXE Shell 2.1

Nowadays, SWF or Flash files are widely used in many ways. For example, you can use them for creating websites or cartoons. It's much more convenient than using regular video files because the size is smaller and the interactivity is also better. But there are two problems related to SWF files. One of them is the fact that SWF files cannot be opened without having the Flash plugin, and the other is related to decompiling the SWF file. Some users can use specialized applications and can extract all the elements from a SWF file, thus being able to steal your work.

But for all these problems, the solution is converting the SWF file into an executable. Flash EXE Shell can do just that. It's a simple Windows application that can convert any SWF file into EXE, making it much difficult to extract its contents and also allowing it to run on any system, even if Adobe Flash Player is not installed.

The program features a simple interface which only requires importing the desired SWF file. After doing this, the user will be taken to another window, where he can configure some settings regarding the Flash player. As such, its resolution can be changed or can be set to use the original resolution of the imported SWF file. A password can also be set for the EXE, for making it impossible to be accessed by unauthorized users. After making all these changes, the EXE file can be built with the click of a button. The file will be created in the same folder as the original SWF.

The program can also convert EXE files created with other similar programs into own EXE Flash files. After doing this, the executable will be almost impossible to decompile and nobody will be able to steal your work.

Pros:
It can convert any SWF file into an executable, no matter what software was used for creating the SWF file. Besides that, it includes a lot of options for customizing the EXE file. Furthermore, it can convert EXE files from other similar applications into own executable files.

Cons:
A watermark will be displayed in the created executable file.

Flash EXE Shell is a tool for converting any SWF file into a regular EXE.
