can swf file include in the program file as sound file.
I'll try to explain more
When I put swf file in my application and publish it .It gives me swf file and another icon for the my program .Can these be one ?

Can you try to explain this a little more/better? I'm having a hard time with what you are asking. Are you wanting to include a .SWF in your Opus pub and then publish without having an extra SWF? Or is it something else?

yes bwpatric
when you put swf file in your application and publish it.You find that anyone can open your publication directory and take the swf file . Can it be put inside the publication file or not?

I was thinking that you could put it in via the Additional Resoources tab, but .SWF is not a supported format. You could possibly publish and then publish your .SWF to some arcane location that's apart from your Opus publication folder and that would keep people guessing as to where you are pulling in the SWF from.

OpusLover --

Could you PLEASE go into your Profile and within the Signature field, add what version of OPUS you are using, and info on your operating system, computer, etc? Please. As you've read countless times before, it makes it much easier to help someone when that information is available.

To answer your question: No. Because of licensing agreements, only certain types of files (wav, avi, mpeg, gif, jpeg, tif) can be "wrapped" within an OPUS "EXE" file. The rest MUST exist in their "natural" file format separate from your Opus Pub. I do not want clients of to be able to "lift" videos, for example, from my presentations, so I use MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 with great success with OPUS. To prevent people from using your work, I'd suggest you change your file format.

Many people have tried to protect swf files and failed -- it doesn't matter what application you wrap them up with.
Protecting anything made in the open swf format is impossible
without using expensive virtualising software like Thinstall.

Opuslover,

This post might be a little off-topic, but I include it because it just might direct you down a path that might help solve your problem.

There are almost countless varieties of applications that will convert one audio or video format to another.

Go to Download.com (http://www.download.com/) and search for something as generic as convert SWF. I just did that and got 237 hits. Or, you can be quite specific: convert SWF to FLV which returned 112 hits.

Alternatively, try Tucows (http://www.tucows.com/).

These apps will range in price upwards from FREE! so they fit into all budgets.

Sure, you'll have to do some reading and evaluation, but that's a small price to pay for the benefits available.

Read the reviews from others -- they can be very informative. The old fears of downloading heaps of visuses/malware are largely unjustified. I haven't found 1 instance of this in literally hundreds of downloads, but I'm cautious. I download into a download folder and run my virus checker against each file before I unpack/install it.

These days, there really is no excuse for saying I can't use xyz file format because Opus doesn't support it.

Hi

Are you trying to protect the SWF file ?

There is a capable utility called SWFEncrypt 4 which can encrypt SWF files.

Hope this is helpful.

Kind Regards,

Unfortunately, SWFEncrypt 4.0's "encryption" is removed easily with ASV 6.0. There is a bit of an "arm's race" between these two applications.
There is no practical way to protect an swf file, or anything in it.
I wish there was, but I haven't found anything practical yet that actually works.
