| 64661 | 2002-07-23 15:26:00 | i was wondering if that flash player, not the browser plug in, was illegal to distribute freely, because i think its not possible to play flash games offline through a browser ( i have yet to try, probably can :S ), anyone know?, cos im thinkin of putting it as a download on my orcon (http://www.orcon.net.nz) site (more info on my site soon tp, and help would be appreciated bout it too :p) | sal (67) | ||

| 64664 | 2002-07-23 23:09:00 | The standalone player is part of the download when you get the plugin. Basically, if the person can see it online, then offline won't be a problem. The standalone player is usually launched when you double click on a .swf file. |

| 64666 | 2002-07-24 21:42:00 | Well... I work with Flash. I know Macromedia a pretty funny about using the player, for example you may distribute the installer with your CD's. You also are obliged (with Shockwave) to put Macromedia logos and credits at the end of your movie. As for the flash player, I'm sure (don't quote me though) the standalone player is basically 'called' by the browser when viewing flash. Anyway, people can view flash files offline by loading them into their browser. |
