Bundle C# application with flash movie and dll files

Question

I have a C# application with a flash advertisement. But the swf file should be in the application folder in run time.
How can I "embed" the swf file in the exe so that it is not visible to the user. For dll files I think I can find an application. But can we bundle dll and swf with exe from Visual studio 2008 itself?+
Thanks

Solution 1

Add it as a resource that's extracted when the program runs (it's a resource property).

OK. I got the idea.
But to implement ..can I get the procedure? How to add swf as a resource file and invoke it when form loads?
Thanks

You add it in the project (in the IDE), and the property setting automatically extracts it when the app is executed.

I have added the file (flash movie) as a resource. There is no option to select a swf file, only images etc. But it is getting added to project as a binary file(I think). That part seems ok.
Now I need to get it back to be given to the movie property of the shockwave player. What method can do it? How we point it as a swf file?
I have found this also.
