[casual_games] Flash Player in Games

[Hal Barwood]

Hi, David:

Others will know a lot of this better than I do.  You'll probably need a 
license from Macromedia/Adobe, etc.

What I notice is that dot-ocx control is definitely slower than the 
standaloone Flash player 8, at least in my apps.  It varies by browser 
(Firefox is noticeably slower than IE), and by app-wrapper (my game took 
a big hit (35% speed drop) when wrapped by Northcode's latest SWF 
Studio.  On the other hand, if you're Flash thingie works just fine in a 
browser, you should be okay.
