When publishing a flash project, is a flash projector simply the swf file and plugin wrapped into an executable (.exe for win, .app for mac)? with the goal being that the project doesn't run in a browser and is therefore not browser/plugin dependent?
Are there more differences in terms of what actionscript can be run? can files that are usually loaded externally be included (videos etc)...
thanks heaps!
You got the idea mainly. The standalone player+your swf = flash projects as far as I know.
One difference I can think is Sandbox Security. The Projector version should behave the way your swf behaves in the IDE, which means some security restrictions aren't applied so you can easily test your swf without uploading the result on the server all the time.
I guess there are others as well, but nothing else comes from the top of my head. Looking forward to see other answers :)
