Question

Distributing Stand Alone Flash Player

Can anyone advise; I wish to include a stand alone flash player (i.e. one that does not need any installation by the user) on a cd-rom that my company produces.

Our help demo is written in Captivate and therefore requires a flash player to be viewed, however, we cannot assume all our users will have flash and don't want to force them to install additional software. The requirement would therefor be for users to be able to insert the disc, select demo from a menu and it to launch the flash demo. There is over 500Mb of unused space on the disc so would hope space wouldn't be an issue.

Am I able to get a stand alone player on the disc and would the above circumstances qualify for the free license I have read about.

Regards.

    That is not allowed. Make a projector exe instead (which is allowed)

    You don't need a licence for projector exe .. but redistributing the
    standalone player (which even Adboe doesn't uisually make available except
    with purchase of Flash itself) would take some negotiation with Adobe. Its
    really not worth the effort usually.
