programming flash
1

ok, TWO quick questions here:

  1. I use to have a stand alone .swf player. When ever I’d hit a .swf, the flash file would just ‘show up’. NOW, with this stupid windows XP here I get this dialog box instead (see attached)
    How can I get the flash files to play alone like they did before? I have a player for browser windows/the internet, but I can’t play one of 'em on my desktop!

  2. I see a lot of cool components that are available for Flash MX now. I have no problem installing the .fla files, but some of the components have the extention “.mxp” and when I install those, it blows up flash. How are .mxp’s installed as components?!

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

actually, that’s how this whole question started–I was at your site and noticed the .mxp names as I was downloading them…too funny
