Re: [flexcoders] standalone exe
Would this exe work for cd distribution with use for autoplay, etc...? And if so, can those who have experience with Zinc explain why it would be a better choice at 299 bucks?

RE: [flexcoders] standalone exe
Autorun on Windows works with any .exe if the user has autorun enabled. Zinc provides a lot of added functionality to do things like change the registry, create files locally, create installers, screensavers, etc, but I don't know how easily you could use a Flex-created .swf with Zinc, or if you even can.

Re: [flexcoders] standalone exe
Zinc provides a more advanced wrapped EXE. They provide a library of API that extends Flash's reach beyond the sandbox to give you OS-specific access. They allow you to run full-screen in a native resolution of your choice (good for games). You can set the icon for the executable and completely disable the right-click context menu. It will also package things as an installer. It also has some nice features related to displaying your Flash app transparently on the desktop (similar to doing wmode=transparent when embedding on a webpage) -- a very cool technique that I'm just itching to leverage in my next desktop app. With Adobe's projector, you basically get the Flash Player Stand-alone app with your SWF appended to the end of it, no more options or features. I think Zinc is worth it, if you're distributing the app to any size audience where a professional look and feel is desirable (like an auto-play on a CD). If you just need to wrap something as an exe to make it trivial for your grandma to pop it her computer and run it without worrying about downloading/installing anything, then Adobe's projector is fine.
