Which tool would you recommend for creating standalone .exe files (Windows) from Flash? And why?
+1
A:
The Flash IDE does that quite nicely. It's configured at the "Publish Settings" and I really can't see any problems with the projectors it produces. Maybe you have something else in mind?
If you're trying to go for extra performance gains there is the Swiff Player ( http://www.globfx.com/products/swfplayer/ ) with the OpenGL accelaration, but they do not make it clear whether they support advanced scripting in the movies. Also there is the Zinc RAD Suite from MDM ( http://www.multidmedia.com/software/zinc/ ) which is specifically targeted for crossplatform development.

I didn't have a particular tool in mind, but when I searched on Google, one of the first hits was http://www.swftools.com/tools-category.php?cat=290, which shows several tools.

The answer really depends on why you need an alternative projector. AIR would be great for cross-platform app development but it would need the runtime from Adobe. And Screenweaver would serve decently, for example, but you would need some haXe experience.
