An alternative way of viewing Flash/Shockwave content
Authored by: Anonymous on Jan 02, '04 02:39:30PM
The problem with this is that you only get the Flash player (standalone) if you install Flash (the authoring environment).

Right. But if you don't want to purchase Flash, this is a useful compromise.

Now, it's true that with the Pac-Man example you linked to, we can open other .swf flash files, but we can't close the original pac-man window without closing the whole player.

Right. But if the window is small, it doesn't auto-start (it needs a click), and there's no sound, then it's not that much of a hassle to leave it open.

It's also misleading to say that you can use this to open Shockwave files.

Sorry for the misstatement.

*sigh* Silly me, I thought some people might actually find this hint USEFUL.
