Flash Builder is a powerful, free utility designed to convert any SWF (Shockwave Flash) file into an executable Windows application (EXE), also known as "SWF to EXE." This transformation enables the flash movie to operate outside of a web browser, creating a standalone, easily distributable application. What makes Flash Builder unique is its ability to create borderless and translucent applications, offering an immersive and visually appealing experience that standard EXE files cannot provide.
Key Features of Flash Builder:
- Borderless and Translucent EXE Creation: The standout feature of Flash Builder is its ability to generate executable files without the traditional Windows border. This borderless design is particularly useful for creative projects such as media players, interactive presentations, and games. Additionally, Flash Builder supports translucency, allowing you to create applications with transparent backgrounds for a sleek, modern appearance.
- Advanced FSCommand and ExternalInterface Support:
Flash Builder provides support for several advanced fscommand() and ExternalInterface.call() functions, giving developers greater control over the behavior and appearance of the resulting EXE file. Here are some useful commands:fscommand("real_exec","app.exe");
This command executes another file (e.g., an EXE) located in the same directory as the created application, enabling easy integration of additional software or utilities.fscommand("set_title","Window Title");
This sets the title of the window, allowing for customized labeling of the application.fscommand("quit","");
Instantly exits the flash application when called, providing a convenient way to close the program.fscommand("position","100x200 300x400");
This allows developers to define the exact position and size of the application window. You can omit the second part of the command if resizing isn’t necessary, offering flexibility in controlling the visual layout.
- Irregular Window Shapes and Animations: With Flash Builder, your application is not restricted to standard rectangular windows. The software supports irregular window shapes, including those with animated edges and integrated shadows. This is ideal for creating unique interfaces and dynamic visual effects, ensuring that your application stands out.
- Autorun Functionality: For users planning to distribute their applications via CD-ROM or USB drives, Flash Builder includes the option to automatically create an
autorun.inffile. This file enables your EXE to launch immediately upon inserting the CD or USB into a computer, enhancing user convenience. - Customizable Application Icons: Flash Builder allows you to set a custom icon for your application, helping it to maintain a distinct and professional look. This feature is especially useful for branding purposes or when distributing multiple applications.
- Splash Screen Support: To give your application a polished, professional introduction, Flash Builder enables you to set a JPG image as a splash screen. This image will display when the application is launched, providing a brief visual element that can be used for branding, loading screens, or messaging.
Supported Languages: English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server.
