If your .swf movie loads external movies or files, those files can be added to the dependencies palette so that they are added to the .exe and are available when the movie is played. For more information, see the help file.
SWiSH Studio can convert your Flash files to a autorun CD or data DVD to show your presentation to people who may not have internet access. Files can be saved in a single self extracting archive, but sometimes it is useful to refer to files stored separately on the CD rather than extracting all the files. This can be achieved by using the fscommand GetExeDir.
SWiSH Studio works by packing a swf projecter, auxilluary files, your .swf files and files you add to the dependencies palette into a single compressed projector.exe. When the projector.exe is run the files are unpacked and your .swf file is loaded into the projector.
As the projector.exe may have been created or placed into a read only location such as a CD, the files are extracted to a temporary folder located on the computers hard disk. These extracted files are deleted when the projector.exe file is closed.
This approach generally works well, however problems can sometimes arise if you want to access external files that have not been included in the dependencies palette.
