Flash Projector Compatible for UNIX?

[elguiri]

I have created a Flash *.exe projector file in Flash 5. Is the projector *.exe compatible on unix systems like sun solaris or linux?

According to this(

yes!

Flash is everywhere. Currently about 95% of Internet users have the necessary hardware and software capable of supporting Macromedia Flash files. Flash presentations are compatible with both Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers through plug-ins. As well, Flash presentations can be played back consistently on browsers and desktops across different operating system platforms such as Windows, Macintosh, Solaris, and Linux. Even other popular Web hardware and software products have Flash technology built into their products. Programs like Quicktime, ActiveX, Flash Player Java Edition, GIF, animated GIF, RealPlayer, Shockwave Flash plug-in, and WebTV are capable of viewing Flash content.

Thanks for your response...but do you know if the standalone projector will play on a UNIX platform? I know that the *.swf file will play through a browser like Netscape, but am unsure if the *.exe projector will. I am especially interested in knowing whether the projector functionality will work (i.e. opening an Acrobat from the file to view PDF files, opening *.avi files in the media player, etc.)
