Can't open swf files with flash cc installed.

There is no file association on windows 8 to open up swf files.
I don't like opening them up in my browser, is there a standalone app i can install?

You can download the standalone flash player for viewing it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html.

Adobe Flash Player is the only way to view them.

Illustrator CS2 can't open new file with network printer installed

It seems that with my network printer set up I can't do much with Illustrator, I can't open new files and I can't print without opening up the printer setup menu in Windows.
Photoshop CS btw, I can't open it at all.
I take the network printer offline and everything is fine, except then I don't have a printer.
Windows XP SP2
Illustrator CS2 12.0.1
Any fix for this?
Thanks,
David

Creating a Dummy Generic printer fixed the issues of opening a new file in Illustrator and being able to open PS at all.
However Illustrator is still taking several minutes to print something as simple as a test circle.
The menu I was referring to is Printers & Faxes under control panel, though I realized later that may not have had anything to do with it. It may have simply been coincidental timing. I opened the P&F window about 10 minutes after hitting print and just after opening P&F the print window popped up. It simply may have been taking 10 minutes for the print window to open.
With the network printer set up as the default printer if I try to open Photoshop a window opens but just stays a grey blank screen, no credits box, nothing. Then if after a few minutes I hit ctrl+alt+del it says Photoshop not responding.
What I was doing to take the printer offline was to completely delete the network printer from Printers & Faxes.
I'll see if they have an updated set of drivers, but I think I have the latest ones, as I updated them a month or so ago.
Thanks,
David

I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player

I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..

Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
Windows:
Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
Mac:
Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it.

How can I associat ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1

How can I associate ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1? When I
install flash lite 2.0,it can do ---- click .swf files system can
autoly use flashlite to play.But now I install flashlite 2.1,it
lost this ability return as "unknow files formate".
Now,how can I reassociate ".swf" with flashlite 2.1?
first: I must use flashlite 2.1.
second:I must click .swf file directly.
I know another way to open :open the player and then find the
.swf,and open it. But ,unfortunately,I can not use this way to
open.Now I will be looking for another way.

unfortunately, the 2.1 developer edition you have installed
has not overwritten the original version integrated into the
symbian OS by the manufacturer. This means that the only way to
open the 2.1 files is to open the 2.1 player from your apps menuu,
and click on the swf file. You will only get direct access if the
updated player is in a firmware update for you handset.

Can't open .wmf files with Illustrator

I'm using Creative Suite CS2 on a PC/Windows XP operating system.
I'm suddenly unable to launch Illustrator when I try to open a .wmf file from within Windows Explorer. Instead, I get an error message that the file itself is not a valid program (DUH!).
I also cannot open them with the "Edit Original" command in InDesign.
I have tried changing the "Opens With Program..." option in the file properties from within Windows Explorer over and over.
Oddly, I can always open .wmf files with Illustrator from within Adobe Bridge, simply by double-clicking the file. And of course, I can open them from within Illustrator by simply going to "open file".
But I really want to be able to use the "Edit Original" feature in InDesign to launch and open .wmf files in Illustrator.
Anybody know what's going on? Is this a Windows problem, an Illustrator problem or an InDesign problem? And how do I fix it?
Thanks so much for any suggestions.

I'm sorry you're having this problem with Illustrator. Would you mind reposting over on the Illustrator forums? You've posted in the AIR forum and I think you'll have better luck over there.
Thanks,
Chris

Can't open pdf file with pdf.xml file extension

Hi
I can't open a file with pdf.xml extension. Does anyone have this problem? How did you resolve it?

Actually, the extension is just .xml. Anything before the period doesn't count as part of the extension.
Your browser may be able to open it, if not see here ---->XML File (What It Is & How To Open One)

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 .flv Files in Flash Player

I have Flash and Flash Player 9 on my Mac OS v.10.4.11. I
cannot open any .flv files with the player. Many are files that I
encoded with the Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder. When I double-click
on an .flv file, it opens the player, but no file. Same if I try to
open the file from within the player.
Anybody know what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

That is because you can't open FLV files.
You can import them into an FLA for playback. Or you can
publish a swf that dynamically loads the FLV and plays it back, but
you will need to either use a Playback component or use
Actionscript to do that.

Can CDHtmlDialog play swf file with audio component?

Hello, I'm using CDHtmlDialog in our application to play swf that shows user how to do a workflow. It works fine if swf does NOT have audio; if the swf has audio component, then it does not play.
Can CDHtmlDialog play swf with audio?
If not, any suggestion on how to implement playing swf file with audio?
Many thanks in davance.

Hi PingHu,
How do you play the swf file in a html. I tried play a swf file with audio in my CDHtmlDialog class. I just use this:
Html code Play the SWF file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="200" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="D:\html directory\swf filename.swf" width="400" height="500" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
</object>
</body>
</html>
Then my sample is able to play a SWF file with audio. Hope this helps some.

Shu Hu

Can't open a file with spaces on the filename.

Lets say I have a file:
/home/orv/Open - Me - Please.txt
When I double click to open that file with any program, the result is something like this:
"Unable to find /home/orv/Open%20-%20Me%20-%20Please.txt"
I'm not sure what to call that process of converting the file name so I've been unable to google it up to find a fix or a way to change the behavior of the file manager.
I've checked the settings in Nautilus and nothings there. Any clues? Thank you!

I tried removing everything in my home directory to erase all settings, still the same problem.
I tried using a different file manager and still the same problem.
Here's another example of my problem and its quirks:
Lets say I have a file called:
/home/orv/I am a Movie.avi
In nautilus or thunar, double-clicking that file so I can play it with Mplayer will give an error:
Failed to open file:///home/orv/I%20am%20a%20Movie.avi
However, when I drag and drop using the file manager into Mplayer, it works.
So my problem is this automatic conversion of whitespaces into the %20 which I don't know how to turn off.
