1. Build a simple application

It only takes a few mouse clicks to build a simple application with SWFKit.

Add your Flash movie

The first thing is to add your main movie. SWFKit is a tool that can convert SWF movies into executable files. You can add the movie into the movie list now, SWFKit will convert it to an exe file. In the Workspace Bar, choose the "movies" item, then the Movies Panel appears. Click the "Add file" button, a File Open dialog box appears, find the Flash movie and click the "Open" button, the movie is added. As shown in the following figure You can also select the movie file from the folder explorer control and drag it into the movie list control.

Set the output file

SWFKit can create applications as well as Screen Savers. In the "Operation Panel"->"Output details" dialog box, select the "I want to make an application" item. You can also set the icon for the output application here. As shown in the following figure.

Define the properties of the output application

In the "Operation Panel"->"Application Definitions" tab, choose the "information" dialog box and fill in the information for the output file. Then choose the "appearance" dialog box and fill in the caption of the output application. As shown in the following figure.

Preview and Build

Now you can preview and build your project. Before building the output executable file you can preview it by pressing "F9". After the key "F9" is pressed or the "preview" menu item is clicked, a preview windows appears. The preview window acts just like the output executable file that will be built later. You can check if it's just what you want. After preview and checking, you can press "F7" to make SWFKit to build the output application and save it on disk. At last you can launch the output executable file by pressing "F5", or go to the output folder by pressing "F10".
