Sheesh lots of negative replies, and I don't even like Flash. I was just speculating that it looks like Flash might start getting interesting to the coder.
I did't know you could save Flash as an executable. Thanks for the info, but as I speculated in my post, the integration of "rich media" may mean that other applications could be integrated into flash via COM, dotNet, Javabeans or whatever. That gets crazy speculative to the point of it probably not being true, so I didn't say it. You guys need to learn to read between the lines. kpm Tyler Fitch wrote: > Jon, > > Flash already has a stand alone player that comes with the IDE as well as the ability to save any Flash movie you develop as a .exe.

Maybe if you coded a web service and made it available for access w hen the Flash app ran. But if the user wasn't online or your service was down for some reason it'd make for a poor Flash app. > > tyler > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thu 2/7/2002 6:15 PM > To: CF-Talk > Cc: > Subject: Re: Jeremy Allaire interview on DevX > > > > What I found extremely interesting was this sentence: > "Allaire says that the next-generation Flash player will be able to ru n > fully connected, intermittently connected, or as a standalone applicat ion > platform...
