![]() The most salient point to this is that the policy of not providing the complete set of functionality simply because you can not think of a reason why YOU would want it is childish thinking. We want the same platform advantages in the standalone form that are available in the browser form (ie: 64-bit).When we present the Flash module to the public, writing a web page is fine but, when we have direct access to the Flash module, we should be able to run it standalone if we want. We do not want to have to write a web page just to run the blessed thing, and get stuck with the view and control restrictions that come along with it.We want the more advanced controls of the view size (especially full screen) and play/restart you get when you run standalone.However, most do not have those advantages and need access to the complete functionality of a Flash player (like running without a host environment) to deal with these issues. Yes, we are well aware that you developers and policy makers at Adobe have the latest technology available to you on which to run your products so you either never see these problems or can easily re-configure your system around them. This makes the Flash module run faster and better, and bypasses any bugs or difficulties that might exist with a specific host environment. Mostly, we want to run a Flash module without the overhead required to run the host, usually a browser.The why is incredibly obvious, but I'll spell it out anyway. The standalone form should always be available for EVERY version of the Flash player without excuse. ![]() If the Flash module run uses functions that can not operate without error outside of a host environment, then the approprieate error messages will inform the user of that. While Flash can operate within a host environment there is no reason why it has to and, if the user wishes to run a Flash module without a host environment for any reason, they should be able to. Why? No one should have to answer that question. I also need the 64-bit standalone version of the Flash player. ![]() I'm very disturbed by the replies to this post. ![]()
