Have a couple of situations:

1. How do i make a flash swf file play on the desktop (outside the browser). Do i need to distribute any swf player.

2. I circumvented problem 1 by creating an exe of the flash movie, however the control menu (the one that has File, View, Control, Help) shows up along with the movie How can i remove the control menu so that only my flash movie plays on the desktop.
