Cant open .swf

Hi
I have quicktime pre installed. I want to open a .swf file, so that I can convert it for use in a website. quicktime says it cannot open the file as it is not a movie file!
I createdthis file myseld. It is a screen capture I made, and I can view it as a movie on my computer.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Many thanks
Sarah

Older versions of QuickTime Pro could open a small percentage of .swf (Flash) formats (those published as compatible to version 5).
QuickTime Player no longer opens any .swf files and will display a black player window. Security concerns.

Installed shockwave.....but cant open swf files.....

Eventhough I have installed shockwave player and flash, I am not able to open swf files. Whenever I double click on the swf file, it tells me that windows cannot open this file and asks me to choose what program I need to open it.
Any advise please...

Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a standalone Player. You may want to reveiw here:

As a workaround, use VLC

Cant open SWF websites

Whenever I try and goto a webpage that ends in a .swf file
extension I get a blank page with nothing in it and down at the
bottom right I get the icon saying the webpage has completed
loading but there where errors on the page. When I look at the
error information it says line 2, character 1, invalid character
and the next error is line1, character1, object expected I have
been getting this error for a very long time and just have ignored
it but I am getting tired of not being able to view a lot of
websites so I am wanting to get this fixed.
I am running windows XP service pack 2 using IE7
I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

Hi, this is the site for the latest smartphones for Flash Player:
http://www.adobe.com/flashplatform/certified_devices/smartphones.html
https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Adobe+Systems
http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplatform/2011/02/update-for-fp-10-2-on-tabs.html
If Flash Player is available for the Motorola Xoom, it should be on the Android Market site.
From what I've read, there may have been a delay, but not sure.

Can't open *.swf files in pc.

It dint cross my mind, when i installed win 7 ultimate x86 2 weeks ago and installed adobe cs4 master suite, to check whether i can open swf files or not. I just like always, downloaded ADM, and installed Flash player 10.1. The web videos were all working fine, except on facebook, where the videos and uploader keeps prompting me to get latest flash player EVEN AFTER I INSTALLED 10.1 version thrice. But i dint care abt it since i dont watch videos on facebook anyways.
The issue is about swf files. Everything regarding to flash, even flash animations, work perfectly well on the internet, whether it be firefox or any other, but today i was designing a photo gallery for my portfolio, and pressed test movie to see if it was looking good. Everything worked in the test movie.
But when i open, some tutorial included swf's or my own created swf's, the famous error comes which states"WINDOWS CANT OPEN THIS FILE. TO OPEN THIS KIND OF FILE WINDOWS NEED TO KNOW WHAT PROGRAM TO USE TO OPEN IT". When i click "select program from installed programs", i cant find Flash Player anywhere on my pc. Now wtf am i supposed to do if my swf's cant open (not on the internet) but on my pc. Please tell me. don't suggest uninstalling cs4 or flash player and reinstalling, because i already did that countless times. Should i get olders flash player versions?
Please don't tell me i will have to reinstall windows for i then i will have to reinstall so much.

guys! Big news, somehow, i just uninstalled flash cs4 and all the flash components along with plugin and activex. Then restarted pc. Then reinstalled flash cs4, then downloaded flash player and installed it. and VOILA! It works now. i can easily open all the swf files now. No more need for the solution. although you can look for solution if in future someone else acquires the problem

Can't open .swf files

Hi,
I create virtual tours and have used quicktime up until now. I've recently converted to flash but when I create a .swf file and save it to my desktop it wont open. I have 2 windows open up (both blank white windows) and one seems to be the actual flash file window but the other seems to be something to do with Hewlit- packard?
Anyway, I cant open the actual files but if I then place that file into a HTML page it works fine.
Another thing I don't understand is that it saves the file with a blue (macromedia??) flash logo instead of a red Adobe flash logo.....is that right?
Can anyone help me? I'm using a mac with snow leopard installed. I rang apple who ensured all my software is up to date but he said it's up to Adobe from now on.
Can anyone help me out here?
Kind Regards,
Grant

Ok....So I needed a standalone Flash player rather than the browser plug in!
Problem sorted.

I have installed flash player 17.0.0.134 and now cant open any e-mail attachments. Can anyone help?

I have installed flash player version 17.0.0.134 for mac and now I cant open any e-mail attachments. I have been through the checks and it is installed correctly. Can anyone help? panda

I don't know how this works on a Mac; on Windows you need the Flash Player Projector (not the plugin) to view stand-alone SWF files: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

Hi Colourdoodles,
Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.
Regards,
Ian

Hi new as a mac user...ok so how come i cant open my "System Preferences" and my "hard disk icon" is missing from my desktop? and im seeing question marks on my icons, namely the "download" icon and the "documents" icon? i need help :/
i tried opening the system preferences from the uper left corner of my desktop but to no avail. and i cant really reinstall the OS because macbook air doesnt have a disk drive and my MBA is early 2008 so it doesnt have the USB thingy that the latest MBA has.
