    Once I have published my Flash movie how can I change the Icon to one that I have made. I can do it to the shortcut for the player, but if I want to distribute the players that is not going to work. Can anyone one help? I need to do this within the next week.
    Thanks,

    I actually use a program called "ResHacker" to change the ICONS of all my stuff. (I make a lot of self-extracing files for friends/family..and like to add my own icons)

    ResHacker is FREE,...I think...lol...cant remeber...Got it from ZDNet..so I think so.

    Anyways...Super easy to use....All you do is DRAG the .exe file you want to change the ICON of...and DROP it in the WINDOW...then go to "CHANGE ICON"...browser for your new .ico file...and then save! Thats it.

    It make a copy of the original file..and a new file with the new ICON....It takes a second to see the change...(usually a close...re-open folder type of deal!..) LOL..
    hpe this helps!

    Just right click on the icon and it should give you an option to change it in the opening info box.
