Research direction
The issue requests adding support for running .exe Flash projectors in Ruffle. A reference implementation exists at https://github.com/laenion/dump projector. Investigate how that code extracts the SWF from the projector and consider integrating it into Ruffle's desktop or CLI. Review the linked code and Ruffle's existing SWF loading pipeline (e.g., in `core/src/loader.rs`). Discuss with maintainers if integration should be done as a new backend or an extension to the current loader.
