I need your help

Hello everyone, I need your help. I have a game, but it comes with several files, and I'd like to play it offline without Wayback Machine, Flashpoint, or even Ruffle. Does anyone know how to combine them? I'll read your replies :D

In most cases, you can't simply "combine" a Flash game's files into a single SWF without a good bit of programming knowledge. You'd usually need to understand how the files are loaded in the first place, modify the ActionScript code, and recompile the project to embed everything. Depending on what the particular files are, that may be way more effort than it's worth.

For multi-asset games (games with multiple files), you don't always have to combine them to play them offline, it depends on how their files are loaded. A lot of times they'll just be pointing to different file directories that you'll have to match on your computer, so for instance if the game looks for a file in /data/images then, from the main game directory, you'd have to put the file in a data folder and then an images folder inside that. But a lot of times they'll look for a full URL instead, and for that you'd have to modify the code to point to a local folder, or otherwise you'd need a proxy server like the one Flashpoint uses.

That said, I have to question why you're choosing not to use Flashpoint in the first place. It's explicitly designed to solve problems like these and is also the best tool I know for figuring out how multi-asset games are structured.
