  1. Whats the difference between adobe flash player activex and adobe flash player plugin?

  2. Where is the adobe flash player (include activex and plugin) installed?

  3. If I want to view swf file standalone without web browser, how could I do it, do I need to install standalone version?

  4. Some swf files have controlbars, the other haven't. How could I add the controlbar to the none ones? Is there any flash player that could always show the controlbar above the movie?

thanks.

  1. The activeX is for Internet Explorer, while the plugin is for Firefox and other browsers.

  2. Not sure. From what I see on my system: Partly under %windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash, partly under %userprofile%\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player

  3. With VLC or Media Player Classic, you can play .swf movies. There also exist stand alone players.

  4. Don't know. I thought the control bars came with the player, not the .swf. But I could be wrong.
    I do know, When you use one of the media players mentioned in number 3 above, you have the control bars supplied with that particular media player (or use the shortcuts).
