This link in laszlosystems.com forum discusses some tools for wrapping OpenLaszlo
compiled SWF as windows executable app (exactly as proposed by Jim Grandy
above). There are other similar threads.

One favourite tool I use is MultiMediaBuilder .. but note, MMB does not yet support
Flash 8 (so I understand).
Latest release (MMB 4.9.7) is here ..

Read the scripting tutorial and API (Flash objects).
...
Another nice tool, Screenweaver (free), but simpler in functionality, allows SWF to be
embedded into executable.
See laszlosystems forum thread above for Screenweaver download link.
