Are you sure they are Flash files, and not Director files?
Flash would require components to be installed on the users system.
I suspect that they use Macromedia Director movies to present the splash screen and from selections there call the correct Installer file or set the appropriate arguments for the installer file.
What they were doing was using a flash exe and running it from the autorun on a cd.
The user coud select what components to install such as MDAC etc. Then when the user clicked Install, it would launch the msi.
I am really not sure exaclty how it was done. I am just learning flash, that is why I placed this post.
