Difference between flash player plugin and standalone flash player?
Adobe Flash standalone is a software application that you
install on your computer in order to create and edit
Flash/Shockwave files. It's standalone and can work on its own. The
Flash PLAYER, however, is a browser plugin that plays the published
end results of the standalone Flash software. The main difference
is that Adobe Flash standalone can create and edit, while the Flash
Player can only view/playback.
