Using Flash Player

Flash Player plays Flash content in the same way as it appears in a web browser or an ActiveX host application. The player is installed along with Flash application. When you double-click Flash content, the operating system starts Flash Player, which in turn plays the SWF file. You can use the player to make Flash content viewable for users who aren't using a web browser or an ActiveX host application.

You can control Flash content in Flash Player using menu commands and the fscommand() function. For example, to make Flash Player take over the entire screen, you assign fscommand() to a frame or button and then select the fullscreen command with the true parameter.
