Export as swf flash file update?

I was poking around the forums and I saw andresmh say that there is a good chance of being able to export scratch projects to swf format. Does anyone have any details on this? Will the swf be able to run standalone or will it need some sort of player? Most importantly when do you think this update will be happening?

If you know the answers to any of these questions please post!

The Scratch team is not working on a feature that would allow you to export Scratch projects as Flash files.

I am sorry if I mislead in my post when I said

I do see a point in being able to export as Flash (SWF) or EXE (Windows executable). Right now we are focusing on other features but we would welcome help from professional software developers that are interested in taking this challenge.

I only meant to say that it would be nice if we had that feature, but, as I said in my post, right now our efforts are on working on other features.

Thanks for posting your question and I hope this clarifies it.

Best regards

Re: Export as swf flash file update?

note the distinction andremsh  makes between a video and an interactive program in his post.  Either Camtasia ( http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/features.asp ) or Bulent's Screen Recorder ( http://www.thesilver.net/ ) can make a screen recording in Flash format, which works fine for video but not for an interactive game (at least without a lot of added work).
