			And some executables are packaged with VaySoft's "SWF to EXE Converter" which is diferent compared to the official flash projector and is its own player just it required the ActiveX Control to run any app made with it but it is extractable as user "Elfhuo" did some digging and figured out how to extract it. As it states on their site "the output EXE files get the SWF data through memory stream, so your users cannot get it in his/her computer hard disk" so after a bit of digging the most efficent way to get the swf file is with this tool https://web.archive.org/web/20130614204347/http://www.forceprojectx.com/SWFMemoryDumper.zip
