hello people… ive been wondering, (since no one is answering to my video thread) if you do something in flash 8 and encode the swf to an exe, can a computer with an older plugin of flash recognize the exe without problems?

btw, how can i open a file thats not related or cant be opened with the web browser?, like an avi or an mpg with flash
