Can we publish swf file made with InDesign in .exe?

I made a SWF file with InDesign. I would like to publish it in .exe? Is it possible?

What version of FlashPro are you using? If you want a self contained app that doesn't load external resources, publish an AIR app, which will work on Windows or OSX. I'm using OSX so I can't really help with .exe projector files, but it looks like the latest version of FlashPro no longer outputs projector files—I think everything is AIR now.
If you really want to go the projector route, I'm guessing Jeffrey Smith's suggestion of finding an older version of Flash Player would be simpler.
So for AIR, set your Publishing target to AIR for Desktop. Then under File>AIR settings:
Output as: Application with runtime embedded
Include files: Add all of your resources—the swf ID generated and it's resource folder
In the Signature tab click New to create a self-signing Certificate (if you were developing commercial software you would need a third party certificate). You can save the certificate anywhere.
When you publish you should find an AIR application file (.app) file in the directory with your .fla

  • HT202879 How can I open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09)?

    I need to open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09).  How can I do this?  I only have iworks Pages free with Mac Book Pro.

    You need either Pages '09 or the original Pages '08? programs.
    With Pages '09 you simply open it and it accurate converts it to Pages '09. Pages 5 will open the Pages '09 version but may alter/damage the file.
    With Pages '08 you Export it to Word .doc/.docx with mixed results, then open that in Pages 5 which may alter/damage the file.

  • Font in swf file changes with indesign

    Hi, I am creating an indesign presentation, and have included a swf movie I created in Flash Professional. The movie contains some text, which appears fine in Flash Pro and fine in the indesign preview tool, but once the indesign file is exported to a swf file itself, the font changes to something different. I have made the text field into a movie symbol in Flash after finding this issue the first time, but this has not corrected it. Is there anyway I can correct this please?
    Thanks

    Thanks. I'm going to have to find out the process behind that as I'm not sure how to do it - exporting the flash animation as a swf file is also creating a swz file that I assumed was all the text info needed, but it doesnt seem to help in this matter. In the mean time I have done the text parts in Photoshop, simplified the layers and then imported them as png images, and that has seemed to fix the issue.
    Thanks for your response!

  • How to add a preloader bar to a swf file made in InDesign?

    I have created a swf file in InDesign CS4 and now that I added the swf to my website, it takes a little bit to download, but the problem is that it doesn't show a downloading progress or anything.
    How can I changes this either in InDesign or using  preloader for the swf file so people don't leave my pages thinking there is nothing to see.
    I'm not familiar with preloaders or actionscript.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    hi Bob. this question is exactly what i was looking for too, However:
    my cs5 crashes since the day i got it (i'm guessing it's because i'm using windows xp, though no-one at Adobe has solved it yet),
    so for now, i have to work on the cs4.
    is there a way to add a preloader on cs4?
    thanx. Lior

  • Can we resize swf file created with AIR API in AIR application?

    Hi,

    I want to change its width and height.
    Is there any way to change its dimensions?
    Please suggest me the solution.
    thank you

    Loading a Flex WindowedApplication into another is not supported.  However,
    you might be able to access the WindowedApplication and size it.  Sub-Apps
    in AIR should be based on Application, not WindowedApplication.

    I do have this problem with placing jpegs in InDesign. Very specifically, I can’t place or relink to a jpeg that was made by InDesign (export page > jpg), although I can drag and drop it into the file, and it shows up correctly. I can place or relink to a jpeg made by Photoshop.

  • How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign

    I have a 200 page book (PDF). I am trying to make a flip book to preview in web browser. How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign with the PDF I have?

    There is another point:
    if you are using JPEG images together with SWF as output file format, you could get smaller images by:
    1. using the Export For Web menu for generating size optimized JPEGs in PhotoShop opposed to Save As JPEG
    2. stripping all color management (ICC) information off the files (SWF is not very good in color management besides sRGB, I think…)

  • Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2?

    Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2? Thanks in advance!

    Actually you can open a CS3 file with smart filters in CS2
    the only problem is CS2 will not understand the Smart filter and flatten it.
    If you leave the smart filtered object alone in CS2 save the file and it should still be a smart filtered object in CS3

  • I can't open a 32-bit HDR file made with Photoshop HDR in Lightroom.

    I can't open a 32-bit HDR file made with Photoshop HDR. I saved the file in Photoshop with the maximum compatibility-option on. In Lightroom the file doesn't show a preview and an exclamation mark in the upper right corner. Anybody an idea why and how to solve this problem?

    As I said, the files must be saved in TIFF format in order for LR to recognize them.
    Here's a video tutorial I've recorded explaining the workflow: Tonemap 32 bit images in Lightroom 5

    Apple dropped playback support for .swf formats in QuickTime almost ten years ago.
    Adobe Flash Player is the only way to view them.

  • How can I associat ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1

    How can I associate ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1? When I
    install flash lite 2.0,it can do ---- click .swf files system can
    autoly use flashlite to play.But now I install flashlite 2.1,it
    lost this ability return as "unknow files formate".
    Now,how can I reassociate ".swf" with flashlite 2.1?
    first: I must use flashlite 2.1.
    second:I must click .swf file directly.
    I know another way to open :open the player and then find the
    .swf,and open it. But ,unfortunately,I can not use this way to
    open.Now I will be looking for another way.

    unfortunately, the 2.1 developer edition you have installed
    has not overwritten the original version integrated into the
    symbian OS by the manufacturer. This means that the only way to
    open the 2.1 files is to open the 2.1 player from your apps menuu,
    and click on the swf file. You will only get direct access if the
    updated player is in a firmware update for you handset.

    Trying to import a .mov file made with gotomeeting - no problems in past doing this. After 3 attempts recording the hour long video and trying to upload it to iMovie, it says No importable files -None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again. What could the reason be?

    After much research and troubleshooting, GoToMeeting replied with the final answer: We do not support the uploading of recordings to editing software. If you are having issues uploading a recording, unfortunately, we do not have tools or steps to resolve this. It is not a supported feature. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. 
    The no longer plan to support editing of recordings made with their software.  So, we are planning to find a new meeting provider.

  • Can sdk3.0 application swfloader swf file builder with sdk4.6

    I have an application builder with sdk3.0. Can I use swfloader to load a swf file builder with sdk4.6?

    That configuration is not supported.  The 3.0 SWF will set the API version to some lower number and any FP10 or FP11 APIs will break.
