Run swf file in a window instead of fullscreen

Hello,

I was given an swf file to run on our touchscreen. I believe it is scripted to open up with the flash player in a fullscreen state. I would like it to open up in a exitable window instead. Is there anyway to override the file opening up in a fullscreen?

SWFs by themselves aren't executable files.  How are you running it?  Are you dragging it into a browser, or are you using a standalone application?

Right there is an exe file that is running the swf file. But I believe the swf file has a script in it telling it to open up as fullscreen. Anyway to override this without having the uncompiled files?

If it's actually ActionScript controlling the full-screen behavior, and not the host application, probably not.
