When you publish your content to a Player package in the Developer, you have several options for deployment. You can: 

• place the Player package on a Web server and provide your users with a link to launch it
  
• place the Player package on a CD or other removable media so that users can play it offline
   
• launch the Player through a link in an application, called In-Application Support
   
• deploy the Player through a Learning Management system (LMS)
   
• deploy the content through Knowledge Center
   
• create links to specific topics

In all these cases, users play content through a browser interface. No software needs to be installed on the client workstation to play content, unless there is sound. If the content has sound, the client workstation must have Flash 9.0 or higher installed to play it. Note, however, that a web server hosting content with sound may not serve Abode Flash audio until the MIME types FLV and SWF are set (for example, application/x-shockwave-flash).

Setting Defaults for the Player
You set the default preferences for the Player during publishing. You can also choose to prevent users from changing the preferences. If you want to change the default preferences, republish the content with the new preference settings and copy it to the Web server. See the Publishing Content section in the Content Development manual for more information about publishing Player content and setting preferences.
