Javascript, Flash, etc.?

Hi, folks.

I have been looking over the site and its forums and got wondering if Portable Freeware accepts freeware in languages such as Javascript and Flash?

I have seen some Javascript pages that offer impressive capabilities. Since such programs run in a web page, they are virtually platform independent and don't require an install program or registry manipulation. And if a person downloads the source code, they can be run offline too.

And the same can be said for some Flash programs I have seen.

I am sure other codes offer the same features.

However, I have not seen any statements on this site indicating explicitly whether or not, say, Javascript programs would be accepted. Would they?

Regards.

David

Only if they compile to a stand-alone EXE of some sort.

Thanks for the info. That rules out many of the freewares I was considering suggesting. Maybe I will mention them in the "Resources & Links" forum. I do know of a couple standalone programs that are good-quality and free, but they are console programs or they add a key to the registry.

Regards.
