Flash Standalone Player

After reading a post that helpfully informed how to download files by double clicking on them in Safari's Activity window I managed to get some Flash files from YouTube.
When I double click on them I am asked for a default application - which I reckon should be Flash Standalone player - but the only one I can get to open the files is VLC.
How do I get a Standalone version of Flash or has it been installed and I can't find it? I've been to the website, downloaded the installer but I don't see any option to download or install a standalone app.
Ta.

Anyone who encounters this issue please give it a vote in Adobe's bug base
Bug #3363321: Creating a standalone projector from a SWF file is still broken in Flash Player 11.5.

  • Flash 8 Player security settings Help

    Hi All. Im having some annoying problems with Flash player 8
    (the standalone player not web one).
    I am making a flash portfolio, and am using an XML file to
    import data (such as images and text) into the portfolio at
    runtime.
    Everything works when run in the flash IDE when i run the swf
    (see IDE.gif), but when i run it in local flash standalone player
    (see Player.gif), the images are blocked out (un-masked) - this
    doesnt happen when i view the swf on the web or when i make a
    projector, which makes me think its something to do with flash 8
    player security settings.
    ive already changed the settings, adding the local path of
    the file and the image directories, but still it wont work.
    what other settings do i need to change??

    There is an MMS.cfg file that you can deploy that will allow
    you to
    control this site wide without individual user interaction
    (overriding
    settings manager).

  • Need third party standalone player

    Can anyone recommend a third-party Flash standalone player
    which will play .swf's? I need to have my content play NOT via a

    is intended for my co-workers who do not have the Flash source
    software installed.

  • Looking for stand-alone Flash 9 player

    Can anyone tell me where I can download the stand-alone Flash
    9 player for Windows?
    The only version I can find in the downloads area is the
    browser plugin.
    I want the standalone player so that I can see the console
    output. I'm just starting in AS3 programming so I need to see the
    error messages.

    There is no download of the standalone. The only publicly
    distributed version
    is the browser plugin/player.
    Download the authoring tool, Flash CS3 and you will get the
    standalone with it.

  • How can i test my web applications SWF in the standalone player?

    I have been using flash builder for a bit, and i love it!, but i don't want to test webb applications in my browser, i want to be able to launch them in the standalone player or debugger. After numberous google searches, it seems my flash builder IDE has something wrong with it, ( Even after re-installing it ) because when i try to make a new launch configuration, it doesn't have a field to accept a run or debug path. only a path for the html file used in the browser. This conflicts with all of the adobe help posts . I'm stuck here. can anyone help? thanks.

    I would avoid using <center> tags, they're deprecated (http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_center.asp)
    instead I would do something like
    <div style="margin: 0px auto 0px auto; width: 800px;"></div>
    put your content inside that div and it should be centered. Set the width to whatever you want.

  • How to customize title of standalone player?

    I have a small Flex based calculator that I need to publish
    as a standalone .exe
    I open the SWF in the standalone player, and File > Create
    Projector.
    I can rename the file, but the title of the player window and
    the tab on the windows taskbar says "Adobe Flash Player 9".
    Is there any way to generate the projector and have the
    titile be sometthing different? It makes sense, since the player is
    running, that it identifies itself, but I was wondering (for
    application distribution) if there is any way to change it somehow.
    Thanks!

  • OTA of Flash Lite Player doesn't work for HTC Touch Pro 2

    When I tried to run a Flash Lite app in HTC Touch Pro 2, it asked for Flash Lite player to run it. I clicked Yes. It returned a message: Adobe Flash Lite is not available for this device. OTA installation didn't work in this case. I then manually installed the standalone player and it installed successfully. My operator is Telstra in Australia.

    Hi,
    Your device will not be detected because it is unsupported by the detection server.  Of course the manual installation is possible but right now we are certifying devices that can be supported.
    You can see the supported devices here, needless to say however we are working on a plan to expand this set:

  • Unable to launch swf in standalone player

    I'm unable to launch swf's with the standalone player from
    within flexbuilder, it will always use the browser.
    I've unchecked the option 'Generate HTML wrapper file' from
    the 'Actionscript Compliler' settings menu and I've tried to force
    it to use the debug player to the best of my knowledge.
    I'm on OSX 10.5.1 ( macbook ) and using FlexBuilder 3 beta3.
    I've done two reinstalls of the OS, and the problem still comes up.
    I've installed FlexBuilder first and then Flash CS3. I've prayed to
    the internet search engines with no sign of hope, so please
    adobe... you're my only hope :)

  • How to download mozilla fire fox and adobe flash media player

    Hi I am so lost i cant seem to download all the stuff i need to set up my notebook (iBook G4) i just need to find out how i can update my mac os x 10.4 to a later version also since mine is obsolete it wont let me download firefox or adobe flash media player. Im not good with computers so i may need instructions to be easy to understand.  

    Hello,
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

    Flash is a nightmare, but my notes on that...
    Look for this for the Standalone player "Download the Macintosh Flash Player 10 Projector content debugger (ZIP, 5.95 MB)"
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
    Download this if you haven't...
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
    Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
    Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
    Or I put up the smaller ones here...

    Or free 3rd party...

    The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Non-Debug version of standalone player?

    Both Flex Builder and the SDK include the debug version of
    the standalone flash 9 player. How to I get the release (non-debug)

    I see a place to download the release version of the
    standalone player for OSX but not for Windows.
    Thanks

  • Files not bundled with standalone player

    When creating a Mac projector file from Flash CS4, I'm only getting the standalone player app (13MB) not the project files bundled together. Before I encountered this problem, the final projector files were around 25MB. I've reinstalled Flash and am still having the problem.

  • Change standalone player version in .exe?

    I need to publish an .exe with Flash Player 9 embedded as the standalone player. I have CS4, which embeds Flash Player 10. Is there a way to change the standalone player to version 9 without using CS3 to export the .exe?
    I have attached a .jpg displaying visually what I need.
    Thank you for anyone who can provide assistance!
    - ME

    After several days of putting things together, I have successfully gotten CS4 to export different standalone player versions. Here are the steps:
    1.) Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and download old debug versions
    2.) Navigate to Flash folder, rename Flash 10 player to "FlashPlayer2" and paste, in my case, version 9r45, rename as "FlashPlayer"
    3.) Relaunch Flash CS4, export as .exe, and it exported as version 9r45... now they interchange easily
    All of this was necessary because of the FullScreen bug in v9r115 and above to v10. I went back to 9r45, changed the casing of the string values, and it worked perfectly.
    Hopefully this will help others in the future.

  • Fscommand2 "shuts down" flash lite player 2.1 in S60 3rd Edition

    Hello.
    I am having the following problem in nokia phones S60 3rd
    edition:
    when I have a j2me midlet running in the background and open
    a swf that executes: fscommand2("GetSignalLevel") it automatically
    closes the flash lite player. This has happened in phones that come
    with the 1.1 player but that I have installed 2.1 and confirmed
    that the swf was running in the 2.1 player. I also tried other
    fscommand2 and they worked well (GetMaxSignalLevel, GetBatteryLevel
    and GetMaxBatteryLevel).
    Is this a known problem? Does it have a solution?
    Thanks in advance

    Ciao Pieter,
    in few days Adobe will release for free the FL 2.1 player to
    developers for several platforms, Brew, Windows Mobile 5 and
    Symbian, which includes 3rd edition. As far as the type of player,
    is probably the standalone.

  • Adobe Flash Standalone Uninstaller does not properly remove 10.1.82.76

    Why does the Adobe provided Flash Standalone Uninstaller "uninstall_flash_player.exe, dated 2010-08-16, versioned 10.1.82.76, the same date as Adobe Flash Player ActiveX/Plugin 10.1.82.76, not remove this version properly of the Adobe Flash Player ActiveX/Plugin then?
    One must still run the uninstall via MSIEXEC /X [whichever].msi
