What is an adobe projector

An Adobe projector is an executable file authored with either Adobe Flash or Adobe Director. It is a Flash file (if made with Adobe Flash) or a Shockwave file (if made with Adobe Director) wrapped (or projected) with the necessary data to be launched outside of plug-ins or players. In the case of Flash projectors, it enables the content to be run without any additional plug-ins, while Director projectors still require users to have the Adobe Shockwave player installed on their computers.
