That would have to be a separate product, as it is really a Flash Player wrapper thing. Not really something that could be a part of SWiSH itself (unless the two can talk to each other). You will be able to make projector EXE's though.
What I mean is that the window border that surrounds the SWF is completely gone leaving just the shape of the SWF itself, say you have the shape of a circle and all your stuff is contained inside, you just see the shape of the circle, similar to what you see on the new pop up ads, also can be seen if you use fruityloops, see attached
its the new popup ads that float across your screen. Here is what I have been able to find out so far. It's a layered page using DHTML with the SWF on the topmist layer so that it can float across the screen using image moving effects (like snow falling) however, the SWF file itself has this unique transparent background that is windowless! Ice Projector and Mprojector can do this. I am looking for a utility that can do this without buying additional expensive software. However, download the trials of either f these two. Ice Projector requires a browser plugin to see the SWF.
I just wish SWISH could do what these two programs do, it would blow every other app off the face of the market.
I found two scripts that will do something similar will let ya know how it works out.
Open a new thread here in Swish Help, so this thread doesn't get hijacked, and we'll get you some crystal clear text.

I agree, and I did, I opened a thread "Windowless Effect", sorry, still hoping for chromeless, windowless, borderless SWF in next version od SWISH, nexr to photoshop it's my favorite program
1: maintain library like flash offer.
2: EXTENSION MANAGER type something like macromedia offer to there user if anybody wants to build something share others through extension manager.
3. GUI should like STUDIO MX products becasue it's much easier to find things.
4. some UI components like flash offer.
5. extend more properties of TEXT, and other objects.
6. Add some more drawing tools like Lasso tool and gradiant options.
7. include TRACE BITMAP option like flash offer.
Nobody knows when 3 will be released - not even the designers (Of which, Roger is one).
From the items released in this thread, v3 looks to be a very big upgrade, so I doubt there will be a free upgrade offer for anyone at all.
There was a big difference from 1.51 to v2, and both products are still for sale at different prices, with an upgrade price for v2.
For what Swish offers, you will not be wasting your money at all.

What I really want is more features to build games like:
1)drag drop
2)displaying random questions
3)variables
4)collision detection
5)keyboard input
6)input fields(allowing users to enter info)
7)joystick input(I know, already possible with flash studio pro)
Reman: There has not been a price increase for Swish since it's release. However, v2 cost more than v1.5. Judging by Roger's comments in this thread, v3 will be packed with far more features and capabilities than v2, so naturally, it will cost more.
This thread indicates the product is in Internal Beta Testing, and I would assume there will be a public beta before the final release, so I am guessing the product is more than 45 days away from release.
Since the product will most likely cost more than the current product and the company has an upgrade price from v1.51 (SwishLite) to v2 now, it's logical to assume there will be no free upgrades.
Even if you had to buy both at full retail, you will be getting a product that rivals Flash at less than 1/2 the price.

Actually SWiSH 2.0 is more like one-tenth the price of Flash MX,
but who's counting...
Regarding upgrade policy: Let me put it this way, we want to make our
existing customers happy, so they keep coming back and buying more
upgrades, we don't want to rip them off so they never come back
Please don't ruin a wonderful program by making it into Macromedia Flash. Swish is great like it is. Fast learning curve and a great, affordable price. Those two features are the best ones of all.
