The stand-alone player plays Flash Player movies exactly as they appear in a web browser or an Active X host application. The stand-alone player is installed along with Flash so that when you double-click a Flash Player file, the operating system starts the stand-alone player, which in turn runs the movie.
There are a number of FS Command
options for controlling movies in the stand-alone player. For example, to make the stand-alone player take over the whole screen, assign the FS Command
action to a frame or button and enter FullScreen
as the command and True
as the argument. See Sending messages to the movie's host program.
The file names of the stand-alone player are:
![]() |
Windows: FlashPla.exe |

Macintosh: FlashPlayer |
