Limitations and differences with EXE apps

- you can't change the style of the window and applications have no menu
- you can't switch to full screen and the "resize display to fill window size" option is disabled
- the "machine independent speed" option is disabled
- frames have no transitions and objects have only one type of transition (Fade)
- half the runtime properties of frames are disabled, as they have no use in the Flash player
- only one Ink Effect for objects, Semi-transparency
- Events:
- MIDI musics are not supported by the Flash player
- You cannot play sample files (only internal samples)
- You cannot save or load the frame position
