Can't watch or play swf files in firefox

For some reason when I try to open a swf file i get the open with or save to window. I can play swf on websites and save it off of them but i can't play them on firefox. It works on IE but it is annoying to have to allow activex everytime. Also i checked under tools > options > applications and it has SWF on Use Shockwave Flash (in Firefox) and swf on always ask.

Hi All,
i have checked the Tools > Options > Applications, but i didn't see "Reset Download Actions". I solved this problem by installing Flash Player. Now i can play swf in firefox.

  • Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

    Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
    I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

    What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
    Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
    Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through.  I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
    Now I can't even do that.  So what then?  You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
    And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content.  The error it pops up?  That's simply another method of error checking that I require.  Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
    Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways?  It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

  • 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.

  • OSX 10.5.2 and AR8.1.2 playing swf files

    After applying the latest Apple updates to OSX 10.5.2 I find that I can no longer play
    swf files from within a PDF file. I'm using AR8.1.2 with FP9,0,115,0 . Consider
    the example:
    http://www.amrita-cfd.org/4adobe/swf/swf.pdf
    It contains an /Annot "Click to activate SWF!" that is supposed
    to play the swf, but when I click it: a progress bar "buffering" appears
    in the bottom right corner of the screen and then hangs. The swf file
    is included as an attachment, shock-tube.swf, which can be
    opened in an external viewer and so I don't think the swf file
    is the problem.
    I have the same problem with the PDF available at:
    http://acrobat.timhuff.net/?p=92
    where the swf is embedded using Acrobat,
    rather than my homebrew approach.
    I would very grateful if anyone could shed light
    on this problem.
    Thanks,
    James Quirk

    James,
    I am seeing what you are seeing even on pdfs with swfs that I created
    that previously worked. I guess we will need to file a bug report.

  • How to play swf files in quicktime

    I have recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my MBP. Before I could play swf files (with no associated html files) in Quicktime okay, but in Snow Leopard you cannot select the swf to play. Is there a plug in that I now need to play this?

    Perian is definitely not the route. Frrom http://perian.org :
    File formats: AVI, DIVX, FLV, MKV, GVI, VP6, and VFW
    SWF is a special container made by Adobe Director and can be played back with streaming software, such as a Web page that has the Adobe Shockwave plugin. Open an SWF file in Safari or other browser after installing the latest Shockwave Player, free from Adobe. Some other software that is designed for streaming playback can play SWF media, but not a typical video player like QuickTime Player.
    The contents of an SWF container might include an FLV video file or bitmap images either alone or with other data. Shockwave Player has 3D graphics and interaction options (can capture video, sound, mouse movements etc. from your system by default and send them to a remote server if you don't turn off these permissions).

    Hi,
    I'm brand new to programing, so my knowledge is limited. But
    I'm having a
    similar problem where my swf appears but sits on frame 1. I
    have a
    preloader
    set up on fr2. But it just gets stuck there (fr1). I know the
    plugin is
    installed but not sure why it won't display my movie. I know
    it's
    happeneing
    only with IE and XP and XPpro. Any ideas?

    Sorry, I since realized that it's not getting stuck on fr1.
    It's just
    displaying the bg color in the html page while it's waiting
    for the swf to
    load. But the swf never loads. It just sits there. I've tried
    using
    different embed tags, etc. But no-go.
    Here's the first example-
    <body>
    <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0"

  • Play swf file from sound clips

    Can someone help me please.
    I have 20 sound clips that I have embeded in Dreamweaver CS3
    using the Insert Plugin option.
    I also have 20 swf files.
    I would like to play swf file #1 when the user starts sound
    clip #1.
    When a new sound clip is activated, I want the current swf
    file to stop and the correscponding swf file # to load.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    I understand this is quite old topic but the question is actual for a lot of developers.
    The problem is that Flash ActiveX doesn't contain a method that plays movie from any source except file path or URL.
    So there are two approaches are possible:
    1. Emulate file by creating a fake file that provides data from your array. You may BoxedApp SDK for that, look here: BoxedApp SDK Features
    2. Use special .net component that provides this feature: http://f-in-box.com/dotnet/
    Hope this helps.

  • Don't play SWF files in Advanced Account. In administrator account OK.

    Hi from Spain!
    I have a serious problem... xDDD
    I have a PC with 3 accounts in Windows XP: administrator, advanced user and guest user. I have too, two internet browsers (internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox). In administrator account, flash player and shockwave runs perfectly in both browsers, BUT in the other two accounts, I can't play SWF files in Internet Explorer. In mozilla it runs perfectly too.
    I have reviewed the internet settings of Security (custom level -- ActiveX settings) and they're exactly as administrator.
    I have installed flash and shockwave again. I have unistalled and installed later. I have installed from advanced account AS administrator and the problem persists...
    I don't know what to try next...
    some many ideas?? thanks a lot!!!!

    Maybe you need to allow 3rd-party content at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l

  • How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

    How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

    If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document. 
    As Murray said, Flash is dead.  Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

  • How can i make quicktime play avi. files?

    pls..how can i make quicktime play avi. files? because i have some avi files on my ipod or data cd but i can't play them on my laptop. pls help me..
    and also, im trying to make a music video but i dont how to select different clips from a movie.

    Hello,
    You can get from Microsoft, the flip4mac free player. Since Windows Media Player for Mac is no longer supported, this is the way to go.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    In my opinion, it is by far the best solution for playing .avi or .wmv files, because you get all the advantages of Quicktime.

  • How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign

    I have a 200 page book (PDF). I am trying to make a flip book to preview in web browser. How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign with the PDF I have?

    There is another point:
    if you are using JPEG images together with SWF as output file format, you could get smaller images by:
    1. using the Export For Web menu for generating size optimized JPEGs in PhotoShop opposed to Save As JPEG
    2. stripping all color management (ICC) information off the files (SWF is not very good in color management besides sRGB, I think…)
