It can load your pictures right to the ActiveX hence averting the temporary document measure. The benefits are fairly obvious.

No more user management rights problems - no longer temporary files without longer component registration. It's all up to you to choose what swflash. ocx/flash.ocx to use - by default registered element is utilized.

Programs using F-IN-BOX aren't merely compatible with any edition of Adobe Flash Player ActiveX, but can also be"smart" on how Adobe Flash Player ActiveX control is utilized. This makes your program more powerful which could lead to fewer technical support problems.
Transparency is fully supported!
