Flex stand-alone application

I have built an authoring tool to create small stories which can be displayed in a story book format. I would like to publish each story as a stand-alone application (by simply pressing a button) and be able to send it via email. Does anybody has any idea how to create a stand-alone application in Flex by only clicking on a button? Thank you in advance for your answer.

It depends on the format you want the output to be in. Assuming that you want a "Flash Platform" output; then I would have that button ping a remote service which can then use the Flex command line compiler to take your code and output a SWF or an AIR File. With AIR you can even use captive runtime to create a native installer for Windows or Mac [or iOS or Android]. [You'll need to be on a Windows unit to create an .exe or a mac unit to create a dmg).

Just about every server side language has some type of PDF generation facility, so you could also use your application server and data from your app to create a PDF which I suspect will be much more palatable when you're sending it around via email.
