Dreamweaver to launch SWF in separate Flash player

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I'm creating a
simple web page in Dreamweaver that includes links to SWF files in
the same folder. I want to be able to have the user click the link
to launch the SWF files in a separate Flash player window and not
in a browser window. (Clicking the link currently opens the SWF in
Internet Explorer).
This is the code I have for one of the links:
<blockquote>
<h2 class="style1">Day 1 Simulations </h2>
<blockquote>
<h3><strong><a
href="Lab1_CreatingACompetency.swf">Creating a
Competency</a></strong></h3>
Please help?
Thanks!

I created a file in Captivate and upon publishing the file,
an HTM and SWF file were published. I would like to launch the SWF
file in its own window. I don't know the technical backend of it,
but upon first glance, the title bar for the window that launches
says "Macromedia Flash Player 7" when I launch the SWF file, and
it's "[IE logo] {name of file}" when I launch the HTM file.
The issue is that the visual quality of the content is not as
clear/crisp in the HTM launched file as it is in the SWF file, and
I want to make Dreamweaver launch the SWF file in a separate
window, not the HTM file.
Hope this helps clarify. Thanks for the help!

Saving a swf-file for flash player older than 10.3 in Flash CC

Hi,
I am working with Flash CC and need to save my swf-files for Flash Player older than 10.3.
Is there any chance to do so?
Besides working with CS6 again ;-)
Thanks for every help!

In the meantime I found a very good answer myself.

Link .swf files to Flash Player

Hello,
I have recently noticed that my .swf files are not opening with flash player. I installed flash and it does not open .swf by default.
I also tried to open these files with the .dll file that runs the Flash Player but it does not work.
Is there someone that could help me to open by default .swf files with Flash Player?
Thank you,
Olon

What operating system are you using?

Differences between the 2 ways to play local swf files in flash player

There are 2 ways to allow the flash player to play local swf files:
Add the directory/file of the swf to the Global Flash Player Trust directory. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9 b90204-7c95.html
Add the directory/file of the swf to the Trusted Location Settings in the Local Settings Manager.http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff0.htm l#WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7fea
Adobe doesn't mentioned in the document what's the differences between these 2 methods, and they look has the same effect. But when I'm doing it on OS X, Safari 6.1, the first method doesn't work (It was working when I was using Safari 6.0). And then I tried method 2, it works…
So I'd like to ask what are the differences between these 2 methods to play local swf files?

For playing local SWF files, Download the Macintosh Flash Player 11.9 Projector
It's a standalone app. Just copy it to your Applications folder. Launch it, and drag the SWF to the Dock icon. It'll play.

You should be able to use very similar code - buy instead of
pointing to the
swf directly, it's likely you need to point, instead, to the
html file that
is usually published with the swf.
Without seeing the exact code you are talking about with
DemoShield, I'm
reluctant to offer you any alternative. Simply put, a
standard link pointing
to the correct html file should work. You can get clever and
use JavaScript
if you have specific needs, but the standard HTML link should
be fine for
your needs.
Oh - maybe you should look at Captivate's Manu builder, as
perhaps this will
offer what you are looking for.

The problem only occurs in flash player 9.0.47.0. It works in all the others players, newer and older..
I try to load a swf file to my web application and get the following error: "This content requires Adobe Flash Player 10.2. Would you like to install it now?"
the log file shows:

Maybe FP9 does not support your application / swf file? How did you develop it?

Downloading .swf files-standalone Flash player

I have the most recent Adobe Reader X, and I have no problem playing .swf files on a browser. However, I am trying to download a .swf file onto my computer and play it with Adobe Reader X.
The people on the site that has the .swf file say that I need a standalone Flash player. What I need is a link to this standalone Flash player so I can open the .swf file without the use of my browser.
A little more info: When I try to open the .swf file, it says:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'FileName.swf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I have tried to do this on Chrome and Firefox using Windows 7 and tried it on a Mac with Safari and Camino; I get the same result each time.
Many thanks for any info, and especially the standalone Flash player, that you can give me. If I should move this thread to the Flash Player section, just let me know.

The standalone Flash Player (Projector) can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you'll need to make the file association manually.

How to play a .swf file with Flash player 9

How do I open a .swf movie I have on my computer with the
Adobe Flash Player 9 (OSX) I downloaded off the adobe website?
Thank you for your help.

You can also download Adobe Flash Player 9 — Standalone
Players (Projectors) for Macintosh
New Universal Binary Flash Player 9 Projectors are available
for users of Intel-based Macintosh computers.

Can an .swf look for Flash Player updates?

I have a flash website and it will not load xml and txt files
correctly unless it has flash player 9. All of my computers have
flash player 9, but there are some people that do not have flash
player 9. Can I put some actionscript code in my swf file so it
will check the flash player on the computer and ask the user to
update if it is anything below flash player 9? Thanks

Flash is no longer supported by Apple because it is not secure, so you need to download it from Adobe if you want to use it.
Try VLC media player seems to play anything.
As far as pdfs, they should open with Preview. Choose any .pdf and "Get Info" (cmd-i). In the "Open with" panel select Preview. Then click on "Change All".

SWF File on Flash Player

I have a SWF File that I got from another computer so when I open it in Adobe Flash CS5 I get the output error:
Error opening URL 'file:///media/flash/360/image.jpg'
Clearly it is trying to open the image from that location that no longer exists on this computer.
How am I able to change this path in the SWF file to a new path so that it will load these images?? I tried replicating this path on my macbook but was unable as "Users" was automatically added after file like so: file:///Users...

Thanks for your reply.
The issue not related to AS 2, application running on flash player 10.3 in all browsers but updated flash player 11.1 getting problem.
"AS 2 code .SWF file run on Flash Player 11.1.102.55". this is true/false ?
please guide me about this issue.
sorry about my english.

SWF file and flash player

Quite a few people said that they cannot see my movie clip
swf file on their browser even I asked them to go to Flash player
download center and install the latest flash player.
I made this file with Flash 8.
I have read a little bit something about the stand alone
player which call projector.
Can anybody tell me why people cannot see my file even they
installed the flash player 9 and also how can I study about stand
alone something which I have no idea at all?
My website is www. theartoftaichi.co.uk. The swf file is the
black and white ball in the center of the first page .

Thank you very much for your message.
But 50% of viewer can open it but others cannot see it even
they downloaded the Flash player 9.
I wonder if I am asking them to download the wrong Flash
player.

HREF to open Captivate swf file with Flash Player

Hello all,
I am new to the Captivate world as well as the new window
options within html code.
Currently I am using Captivate to re-create and update a
DemoShield CBT and woudl like to call the .swf file the same way
the DemoShiled file is called within the HTML. The DemoSheild file
is called using a javascript function within a href tag.
Is it possible to do the same with Captivate files? Create a
link that will open a new browser window with the .swf being played
by flash player? (similar to simply double clicking the file within
the folder).

SWFs only for Flash Player 10?

I published a SWF file and it looked great until I checked it on a computer that was running Flash Player 9. It didn't show up at all. Is there a way to save it in a compatible format? The IT people at the company I'm making it for won't upgrade to the newest player for at least a few more months. Any suggestions?

The SWFs generated by Flash Catalyst use the Flex 4 framework, which has many nifty features, but unfortuately also requires Flash Player 10. You won't be able to use Catalyst to create applications to FP9 or earlier. If you don't mind doing some coding, you could use Flash Builder to make a Flex 3 application that will run under FP9.

SWF Frames and Flash Player Frames

Hi,
Could I have the definition about these concepts?
What is the relationship between them?
In particular, I would know if they are paired each other or not during execution.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

I'll try to explain what i need to understand.
Could you underscore when the Flash Player Frames (understood as the time period between two consecutive enterFrame events) take place?
Suppose an application with two frames (FR1 and FR2) and a specific frame rate
The Flash Player streams in the SWF:
1 Flash Player starts to load FR1
2 FR1 is completely loaded
3 FR1 calls stop() method
4 Flash Player is waiting to load FR2
5 FR2 is completely loaded
6 FR2 calls stop() method
To summarize: Can Flash Player Frames can be took place many times per SWF Frame?
Thank you again
