The project itself is a Macromedia Flash generated .exe file. The goal is to hide it from hacking (at least minimal - Flash .exe files can easily be recompiled to theyr sources). Now I'm doing something like following: dump a Flash .exe file as hex array, embed it into a another C++ launcher-programm with some authentication procedures. When authentication ends successfull, I unpack embedded Flash-exe as temporary exe file and launch it. It would be nice to launch that exe without creating of extra file - directly from the launcher process memory. Are probably there some techniques to envelope an .exe into a .obj or something like that?
On the other hand - offtopic question: are there probably some protection possibilities in Flash?

I'm not sure it will prevent decompilation but it will almost certainly make it difficult if you use the wrapper functionality

probably not cheap though
