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:

  • How do I get pdf file to open from websites?

    When I click on a pdf file to open from a website, Explorer tries to open the pdf, but reloads the page then errors out.  I am running XP pro with the Adobe Reader X.  I have tried to uninstall reader and re-install.  My registry is using the correct file.  The associates show reader as the default program.  I don't know where else to look.
    Thanks for your help.

    What is your Adobe Reader version and your browser. If you are using Internet Explorer, use it in 32-bit mode.

  • How do you get a link to open a flash flv video?

    I'm trying to get a link to launch a flash flv video. I need
    it to open only about as large as the video itself which is
    320/240(a little larger is no big deal. I don't want to have to
    embed it into a 1040pix wide page. When I link it, the video is
    blown up to 1040pix wide & just a little distorted!
    Is this possible/easy to do?thanx

  • SWF file not playing in flash player

    Hello All
    I am working on this project for a client, suddenly no-one can get the SWF file to play.
    https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByWDl-PaRWIFY0c1SnEwbUNraUE&usp=sharing
    The file is there.
    If anyone can help please do.
    I know this file works. It must be an update or something?
    Please Please Help

    If you've lost the source to your SWF files, there are a number of SWF decompilers available.  You may be able to decompile the SWF and then recompile the project using a current compiler.  It's worth a shot anyway.
    A cursory Google search turned up a few candidates (free and paid), but I don't have much experience with any of them.

  • .swf working when opened with Flash Player but not when opened with Mozilla

    I'm having a problem with the .swf I created.
    It works fine when I open it on my computer with Flash Player.
    When I attempt to open it with Mozilla:
    - it wont play or allow a button to navigate to Frame 3.
    -it will allow another button to fullscreen the .swf and bring it back to small screen.
    This also happens when Flash Professional creates the HTML. (Autoplay = true)
    Is there some restrictions on AS3 when used on a webpage that don't apply when Flash Player is used independently?
    I've been trawling through the forums without any luck
    Any help would be very much appreciated
    Thanks

    Hey,
    Yes there are some links but when using the right click menu to play the swf the links are there and working.
    Thanks Ned for your intrest and attempt to help! It gave me courage to dig deeper.
    After a rest and feeling less presure - I discovered the problem.
    When in webpages you can't automatically Fullscreen - its fine if on a button though. I had to take out the line below
    stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
    Cheers

  • How do I get multiple files to open in the same alpha-numeric sort order in which they are displayed in Finder?

    If I drag a bunch of files to, e.g., Adobe Photoshop they seem to open in strange orders. This makes automating any sort of editing workflow next to impossible. Is there some way to get programs to open files in the same order in which I see them? This is the default behaviour in Windows and it's really helpful when you have hundreds of files (or even just a few) that need to be processed in a certain order. Thanks for any help you might provide.

    You're welcome.
    What's likely happened is that when you transferred the video to the new machine they lost their dates.
    Photos use the Exif metadata to record the date and time of the shot. This is quite different from the date and time of the file, which can change as the file is copied from place to place. Video doesn't have Exif, and so iPhoto uses the file date, and that's changed.
    Simply, there's no absoultely reliable way to date video.
    Try assign dates with the Batch Change command under the Photos menu.

  • How do I get PS5 files to open in PSCC?

    When I try to open a file that was last used in PS5 with PScc I get an error message asking if I want to open it in Acrobat.  No option for PScc is shown in the box.  I have changed the file type association in Windows 7 and that has not helped.  It seams that the file keeps a record of which program was last used in editing the file and will only look to that program.  I have removed PS5 from my computer.

    What's the file extension (i.e., the type of the file)?
    Does it open in Photoshop if from inside Photoshop, choose File - Open, and select the file?

  • How do you get DNG files to open in windows?

    After saving RAW files as DNGs I find I can't open them in Windows 7.

    In general, you wouldn't want to open DNG photos in Windows 7 somehow, you would want to open them in Photoshop Elements. Windows 7 cannot show you the edits (probably Windows 7 can't even show you the unedited DNG, but I'm not sure about that anymore).
    In general, you don't want to edit a RAW and then save as a DNG, I'm not sure you gain anything saving an edited RAW as a DNG, but it sure takes up a lot of disk space. If you edit a RAW and want to save your edited photo, you can click on "DONE", which saves your edits, the next time you open the photo in PSE you will see your edits and you can make use of (print, upload, etc.) the edited photo; or you can click on "Open Image" which takes you to the PSE Editor where you can save it as a JPG or TIF so people who don't have PSE can view the photo.

  • In email, when I click on a "pdf" file, how do i get it to just open instead of being asked what program I want to use?

    When I get a "pdf" in an email and I click on the "pdf" button, I am always asked what program I want to use. How do I get the file to just open automatically?

    You can specify in Windows what program to use for a given extension, for instance Adobe Acrobat Reader, for files with PDF extension. How you can connect the program and the extension, is described in this article; [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default "Change which programs Windows uses by default"]
    In Firefox PDF links get opened automatically with Acrobat reader. When clicking on PDF attachments in Thunderbird, however, you will need to associate the program and the extension as described in the above article.
    Hope it helps!

  • How to get offline files back open?

    How do I get my files back from being "offline" in my multitrack session? I by mistake closed a few files and now when I open them again in my media browser they still show as "offline" and cant' seem to get them back open to work with them again.  I didn't delete anytying, why are they still showing offline ifI opened up the original file I used again?

    Once you've got the file(s) back into the file area with the session file, go to Clip>Link Media. Or if there are a lot of original files, Link All Media.

  • 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.
