How to open file adobe flash player

how to play adobe flash player file with my mac

Adobe flash content is embedded in something else, like a web page. It is a browser plug-in on your system, and not a standalone player, like DVD player or iTunes. In order to show flash content, you need to download flash from here.

  • 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.

  • How do I install Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.45.2 when I have the 10.0.42.34 ?

    Do I have to manually uninstall 10.42.34? Then download 10.0.45.2?
    Or if I just go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download version 10.0.45.2 will remove the older version?
    It confuses me because on this page
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#Uninstall%20previous
    it says that "
    Before you install Flash Player for any Windows browser, uninstall all previous versions and restart your computer. For instructions on removing the player, please see "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control" (TechNote tn_14157)."
    then gives you this to run
    Windows: uninstall_flash_player.exe
    so do I need to use this uninstaller first? Then reboot, the install the new version?

    Theoretically, updating to the latest Flash Player should remove all previous versions.  However, that does not always work.  I often find old OCX files in people's systems.
    I always use the uninstaller, reboot if there are any files left in the Flash folder, then install the latest version.  Never had any problem with this method on any of my machines.

    How do I download Adobe Flash Player for a computer that does not have internet?

    Hello Walter,
    that's it, usually you get and Adobe Flash Player Installer only.  For a distribution in a company, or an installation on a PC without internet access, Adobe has available an offline installer. This installer you don't need to uncompress it first. You can download the installation file from there (you must logged in with your Adobe ID): http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  • How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro?  It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

    How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro?  It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?

    That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
    It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

    How do I add adobe flash player to my Ipad

    You can't, it's not supported on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed. Some websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store, so you could check to see if your favourite(s) have apps.
