Flash .swf Flash Player

Hello!
This is what I'm trying to do:
Create a .swf Flash movie as an interface that will hold
media controls (play, pause, stop, track bar, volume, remaining
time, mute, etc)
Have a side bar list with all the movies I can load up to the
player with the lenght.
Every movie that can be uploaded is a .swf flash movie that
may be a presentation with sounds and even interactivity (tutorial
like)
I have experience in several programming languages (php, c++,
javascript, java, asp, etc) and also with dreamweaver, a bit of
fireworks, and I'm learning Flash (I've learned some basic stuff
like the simple moving animations and buttons)
I'd also need some sort of file reading system to read some
config files, that will have the title of every movie, and maybe
the lenght???
I've been checking out the ways to embed video, like
MovieClip, MovieClipLoader, FLVPlayback, and now I'm confused... :(
What should I use to do what I intend to do? what would be
the best approach? what would be the easier approach?
I'd appreciate that you point me into the right direction,
what should I learn? where to look for the info?
Thanks in Advance!

pi_player_assets.xml
is the my roots ../pi/pi_player_assets/pi_player_assets.xml
folder where the file was located originally so i left i there
As for the swfobject_modified.js file I know exactly where it's at
it's in a whole seperate location Dreamweaver created for called Scripts
Am I supposed to replace the original swfobject.js with swfobject_modified.js

How do I get SWF files to open in Flash Player?

Currently they have no program associated to the extension. When I try 'Open With...' I cannot find Flash Player at all and opening in IE causes a loop between opening an IE window and the 'Open File, Save File, ect' window.
I'm currently running Windows 7, Mozilla Firefox, and have no other isses with things playing on my PC.

You can either try associating .swf files with a browser so they open the SWF directly, or else you can download the standalone (aka "projector") flash player and associate the files with that.
Here's where you can download the standalone player:

SWF not playing correctly in Flash Player

When I create a new SWF - only sometimes - the SWF shows (in
Flash Player, Projector, Exe ONLY) up blank or missing quite a bit
of the animation, buttons, etc. It plays fine when opened in the
Flash application or as a "Test Movie" but not when opened directly
from the Flash Player!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

could it be that you have multiple version of Flash program
install and
the one that is set to default is older one ?
For instance, Flash MX 2004 and Flash 8 , authoring in flash
8 but preview happen
in MX 2004 ? this is my exact setting, for compatibility
test. This would make
new files fail to perform properly.

How do I set Adobe Flash Player as the default program to open SWF files?

Basic Overview
I have this working fine at my home laptop, however I need this working for projects at school.
Whenever I want to open an SWF file at home, I simply double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problems!
However, when I am at school I have to run SWF files within Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are not opened in that directly, they are opened within Internet Explorer.
At Home
If I right click an SWF file at home and select "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', so I can simply select it as the default. (On my home laptop)
At School
At school if go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and some other programs in the other programs box. (On my school laptop)
Question
How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as the default program for opening SWF files (on my school laptop)? If I select "Browse..." and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', is the file for the actual program located somewhere else or have I just no looked properly in the folder?
I really need these files opening in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know you can set the view to 100% and have it sized correctly)
Thanks you to everyone who helps!
-Charlie! (Yes I know I don't need to write this in a forum)

The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, and not a standalone player. So what actually opens when you open an SWF file at home? Flash Player Projector?
If so, you also need to download it at your school, from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then do the file association.

Opening an .swf file with flash player

Is there any way to open a .swf in flash player ? When I
click on a .swf it will open in flash player on my system (I have
Fash CS3 installed) but when I am on another system without Flash
CS3 installed, I have to right click and use open with, but I need
it to open in flash player on its own, like an .exe. (I have flash
player and shockwave player installed on the other system)
I need to be able to open a .swf in flash player, like an
.exe. How i can do this ?

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.

.swf file created from Indesign won't open in Flash Player

I have created an interactive flash presentation using Indesign. For several weeks I have made edits, exported a .swf file and opened the file by double-clicking it to open in Flash Player. From there I was able to export an .exe file with an embedded projector for users that may not have flash player. The file does not open and asks whcih progrma I would like to open with when clicking the file.
I am running Windows XP, Adobe CS5
Thanks for your help.

That sounds more Windows file association issue.Have you tried to Right-Click your SWF and choosed Open With (or something like that), you can choose Flash Player from that list if it´s installed.

SWF created in Flash MX 7 won't play in browser w/Flash Player 9

I just noticed that my website, which I made from a template
from templatesheaven.com, isn't playing in Flash Player 9 in a
browser. It plays in the standalone player for some reason, but
when I look at it on the web, it shows just the count-in (or
whatever it's called, the pre-load), but stops when the counter
hits 99% and the action never starts. The website is at:
www.gwhitty.com
I built it using Flash MX 7, but for all I know the template
was made using Swish, which apparently causes problems with Flash
Player 9. Anyone have any other ideas? Still plays fine in FP7, so
I'm stumped. If I open my .fla file in Flash 9 and then export,
will that likely fix the problem? Any ideas appreciated...

I've installed Flash Player, why can't I play a swf file?

I'm trying to play a swf file in Windows 7. I've been able to do this before many times, using Flash Player, but it doesn't work now. I've recently done a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and my apps, and this is the first time I've tried to play a swf file since then.
When I double-click a swf file, I get the "Windows can't open this file" dialog box. If I select "Use the web service..." it takes me to the Adobe website Flash Player installation page. (I've installed it previously, and I've installed it - twice - today.) If I select "Select a program from a list...", the list doesn't include Flash Player, though it does allow me to play the file in a browser.
Some of my swf files I created with Captivate, and published them with an html file. When I open the html file, the swf file plays properly. Shouldn't I be able to play the swf file in the player, without opening the html file?
Should I be able to see the player in my start menu programs, or in the Programs folder? I can't find it on my computer. Is there something else I need to install?

Exporting to swf file targeted to Flash Player version 9

I am trying to create a swf file targetted to version 9 of Flash Player, but when I export to the swf format from InDesign CS5, there doesn't seem to be an option to change the targeted version, and I get files targetted to version 10 instead.
I need to be able to target to version 9 to run in the zmags environment.
Does amyone know if there is there any way to do this from InDesign?
Thanks!

Thank you kindly for your answer. I knew it was possible to do in Flash and I'm finishing it this time around using Flash Professional, but my client owns only InDesign at this point. I was hoping to discover how to do it with software she already has.
If it's the case that there's no way to do from InDesign alone, then that would be the answer. Before I share that unhappy news with her, though, I wanted to be certain there was no way to do it from within InDesign.
Do you know - is that definitely the case, then?
(um.... I just noticed you're a 'community professional' so I guess that would be the case then?
A 'yes' will suffice and I'll go away quietly)

External as3 swf loaded as amv1movie in flash player 10.1.53.64.2

Greetings!
I've got a problem with new flash player 10.1.53.64.2 (activex component) on windows 7 and windows XP (vista was not tested) no matter x86 or x64. This problem doesn't not appear on previous versions of player such as 10.0.42.34 and lower 9.0.45. The problem is: when I load external movie it loads as amv1movie thought both swf's are in ActionScript3.
Proof
flash player 10.1.53.64.2:
loadGraphics(checkbox.swf)
loadGraphics.onOpenCompleteLoaded: [Event type="open" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
loadGraphics.onInitCompleteLoaded: [Event type="init" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
loadGraphics.onUrlCompleteLoaded
afterGraphicsLoaded checkbox
afterGraphicsLoaded. height and width
afterGraphicsLoaded. added templateObject to stage [object AVM1Movie]
flash player 10.0.42.34:
loadGraphics(checkbox.swf)
loadGraphics.onOpenCompleteLoaded: [Event type="open" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]

afterGraphicsLoaded checkbox

Please help!

You may be better off asking in the Flash or ActionScript forum.

SWF File in Adobe Flash Player

I've created a flash animation (the backgroung is moving horizontally and vertically according to the movement of the mouse), the problem is that when I open my SWF file in Adobe Flash Player 10.0 the whole animation is shaking. (In Adobe Flash in preview mode it looks fine)
Any ideas how to fix this ?

Hi,
When you mean by shaking does it mean that the animation does not run smooth or it actually cuts frames? You might want to check if the same thing happens to the animation if you export it as an html(File--> Preview--> HTML). If that is happening it can be three things:
Video Card Driver problem: maybe update your video card drivers or something might be going on with the video rendering software
Computer Speed(which I really don't think)
Flash Driver problems: try uninstalling the flash player program and installing the latest version(I also don't think you will have problems there)
Hope this helps you,
Vicente Tulliano

Adobe flash player and run swf

I creat a swf file with software demo builder version 9. but when run it with flash player version 11.8.800.94, flash player dosen't have any toolbar in below for move forward and move back video.but other swf file that creat with version 8 demo builder dosen't have any problem. meanwhile when I run swf file flash player show below error.
Thanks...

It seems that going to Preferences>Security> Check allow plug ins, then manage sites, and then allowing one site allows all??? Seems like a lot to go through. I have installed the player 4 times now and just got it figured out!

I can't open swf files for schoolwork. Installed VCL, Flip4Mac and Adobe flash and shockwave players. Can get white screen with connection erro message with adobe flash player. Help me!

Apple dropped playback support for .swf formats in QuickTime almost ten years ago.
Adobe Flash Player is the only way to view them.

Hi I have a swf file (let say child.swf).
Once It loaded I want to know parent swf was published on flash player 9 or flash player 10. How to find that?
Question:
1)parent.swf loades child.swf
2)after child.swf loaded --> need to check parent.swf is published on flash player 9 or 10.
3)if parent.swf published on flash player 9 then child.swf will run a function
4)if parent.swf published on flash player 10 then child.swf will run some other function.
On the above for the based on the 2nd point question 3 or 4 will happen.
On the above case I have only one parent... In some other case I may have multiple parents. My question to how to detect top most player's published version?
Note:
Capabilities.version returns current flash player version which is installed on browser (it is not help my question)
The following link has infomation about As version used on the swf (it is not help my qeuestion)

Newer flash player not opening SWFs

Hi Everyone
I'm a teacher and am having problem opening student SWF files. I believe many of my students are still in Flash CS6, or perhaps CS5.
I have Flash CC installed. It looks like my Flash Player is 11.7.700.169. But I also have Flash Player 11.4.402.265, which from what I understand is the Flash CS6 player??
When I try to open their SWF to view, it just closes immediately. I can open the .FLA fine., although when this has happened it looks like students have used TLF text, and I get a message from Flash CC saying this is unsupported. But if they have done anything with fonts I don't have, I can't see their work as intended. This is an intro class, so they really haven't learned about embedding yet.
My hunch is that the TLF text won't run in the newer Flash player. But I'm wondering why the SWF doesn't then come up okay with version 11.4xxx. Any ideas on what I can do ?

when you right click and click on the swf, you're using your stand-alone flash player. most people don't keep those players updated.
if you wanted to updated your standalone player, you can go here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
and install the projector player for mac.
in any case, you cannot see any student's original design (that contains unembedded fonts) unless you open their fla in flash pro>and confirm there are no missing fonts detected by flash.
if missing fonts are detected open their fla in flash pro>view the list of missing fonts displayed by flash pro>download and install those fonts>restart flash and then open their fla and confirm there are no missing fonts.
you can now open their swf in any flash player you have installed (as long as you see no message about needing an updated flash player).

Swf published from Flash Catalyst not playing in Flash Player

Hi All,
I have 2 issues which I'm not sure may be related or not.
- I've created a project in FC but when I publish it to .swf it does not open in Flash Player. It plays in Chrome but Flash Player 10 gives a blank screen.
- I have FC 5.5 and I want to make the project scale according to the browser size. How can I do this? I have checked the Resize option but when it open in Chrome it just cuts out all that is outside the browser screen area.
Thanks.
Tej

I can not recall the minimum Flash Player that is required for Flash Catalyst. I suspect that your version of Flash Player is too low. Chrome auto-updates to the latest version, so that is why it works in Chrome.
Also, make sure you understand the differences between resizing and scaling. I wrote a blog post on this here: http://chrisgriffith.wordpress.com/2011/06/22/understanding-resizing-and-scaling-in-flash- catalyst/
