Flash is dead. It's ending any and all support after this year, Chrome doesn't run it at all, and Fallout Equestria: Remains was the last thing released for it AFAIK.

No, it will NEVER go onto a SWF since Flash is dying.

This question doesn't even make sense, even putting aside that SWF is a dead format, replaced mostly by HTML5.

SWF stands for ShockWave Flash (later using the backronym Small Web Format), but in general what it means is a program running on the Actionscript virtual machine. What you're asking when you say to "put onto an SWF" is essentially the same as a port to a new operating system, as it would mean modifying the program so that it's written for the Actionscript virtual machine rather than ASM for Windows. It also wouldn't really... do anything. So much of SMBX is reliant on the surrounding file structure rather than just the program itself, that it wouldn't even allow for embedding into a webpage (the primary reason SWF was even used), plus it would break all compatibility just like any port of the base engine would.

This question kind of shows you don't really know what SWF means, nor how programs work.

In short, the answer is no, not just because SWF is a dead format, but because the whole concept of "putting onto SWF" makes zero sense.

Just PM a staff member to lock this topic. Then we'll all just forget about it.
