Hi,

i am now having problems with making my flash animation an executable file.

I made more than 10 different fla and swf files.
Files are linked and used as loading and unloading swf files.
But when i make an exe (the first one), the other files are not inculded in the exe file

What must i do?

thanks for help.

I'm not sure I understand your problem as it can be read to me two different things, next time try and clearly explain not only the problem but also the intended goal that the problem is prevents you from. For example, What I want to do is blah but that's happening is blah. You told us what the problem was, but not what you're trying to do, so it's hard to provide a solution not knowing what the intended outcome is supposed to be. Anyways, I've got a bit of time to kill today so I'll take a crack at it none the less....

1: Your assuming that creating a Flash Projector (exe file) will package all of the externally linked swf files as well.
A1: This won't happen automatically. If you want to contain the whole project in one single Flash Projector file you'll need to import all of your linked media into the library and use if from there. If you have any externally linked media, you'll need to include that with your Projector File and make sure that you maintain the relative paths in your code (See A2).

2: The linked media isn't loading when you run the Flash Projector (exe file).
A2: This is most likey because you have specified paths in your code that are pointing to the wonge place once you create the Flash Projector. Test the flash projector in the same directory as your working .fla file and it should work fine. Remembering to maintain your paths with Flash Projectors is one of the biggest problems people have with distributing projects. I reccomend you set up a "working director" that reflects the final layout of the directory structure for the finished project. Then you can simple copy the contents of that director onto a CD for distribution (minus the .fla's and any other source files).

NB: You should only need to create a Flash Projector from the first .fla file. Any other movies should be saved as .swf files. The Flash Projector file is simply a stand alone flash player with an embedded swf movie, so there is no need to create projectors form any externally linked media. If fact, if you create projectors for the linked swf movies then they won't work (mainly because the first projector will be looking for .swf files and creating projectors turns them into .exe files).

Assumption 1 is the correct situation.

simply i will import the swf files to my first fla and execute again then it will be an exe file including all swf files...

very simple , thaks a lot i will try now.
