Does Flash (the dev tool) come with a standalone command-line
projector creator tool?  If it does, you can drop that on the server,
and then use CFEXECUTE to convert from SWF to EXE on the fly, using a
temp file, and then serve that temp file with CFCONTENT.

However, I'm not 100% sure that's necessary.  If you install the flash
plugin, when you double-click a SWF it'll fire up just dandy.  The
advantage of using a standalone projector is that you don't have to
have flash installed (it's included in the EXE), but if you're viewers
are going to be using flash for their online viewing, and the offline
viewing will only be supplemental, it shouldn't matter.
