Flash Player download

If I use you component to embed a flash file into an VB.NET windows application and the user running the exe doesn't have a flash player installed, will the component react like Maromedia's flash played and automatically download the latest available version?

Thank you for your question.

The component doesn't download flash player. You can check is flash installed in the system or not (use FlashPlayerControlLibrary.FlashPlayerControo.IsFlashInstalled method) at application start-up.

Thanks. Would it be possible for me to embed a flash exe file instead of an swf file - that way I could include the player in the exe and I wouldn't have to worry about whether the user has the correct flash player insalled of not.

I'm sorry, it's impossible.
