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.

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

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.

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).

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?

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.

Thanks for every help!

In the meantime I found a very good answer myself.

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.

How do I scale down a swf file with flash without having to manipulate original png images.

I have a swf that is 200x750 and I need to scale it down to 160x600. Is there a way of doing this without rescaling all of my png files? I tried using publish settings, but there was no result. It remained pixelated. I tried scaling it down in flash and it was worse. Is there any quick converter I can use?

Here's a web article that may be useful: http://www.sitepoint.com/steps-faster-flash/
If you are strictly concerned about bitmap images like photos, then Photoshop's Save for Web tool is very useful. You can test your images in various file formats and at various color depths to get the smallest possible file with the best possible quality. If you are working with vector graphics, then use simple shapes and flat color.
If you show us an example of the art that you're working with, someone might be able to give you more specific and useful information.

How to play a swf file without a browser

I know it sounds bizzare, but not all machine have a
compatible browser installed. I was using flash player stand alone
version for playback of swf files. But, flash player 9 will only
install if I have a browser installed.
I can still play swf file on a machine with a browser, but
the swf file does not come in with a built in playback control, so
I have to watch the video without a playback control.
Is there anyway I can download a standalone version of
flashplayer, just like flashplayer 5.

Yes, because it is in Players\ subdirectory!

It's very ugly way for those who never tried to dig into

Creating 'packaged' SWF file with Flash Prof

Hi Experts,
I have a simple requirement, however, I have spent some time trying to find a solution to it and I'm a novice so would be v grateful from input from those more experienced.
Firstly, I've created with Adobe Captivate an SWF file which I have been able to reference in an aspx page and when I view the website, it runs fine (no other file is referenced to run this). Example of the below code in the aspx page I have created:
object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="500" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="progressive2.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#aaaaaa" />
<embed src="MY_VIDEO.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="500" height="400" name="Untitled-1" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
My objective is this. I have a final edited FLV video file. I also have Flash Professional. What I want to do is create a single SWF file (like with the Adobe Captivate example), which will include the video and the skin for the progress bar, volume etc and then reference this in another aspx page for the website.
I want to be able to have the same 'packaged' SWF file, as in the captivate, created from this FLV video. In Flash Proffessional, I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard. But trying to publish or other options, I've not been able to get this single 'packaged' SWF file to run correctly in the website, via the same apsx code as above.
Am I missing a trick here? I would presume it would be fairly simple as I don't want to edit the video, more I want to embedded it with a skin in the one SWF file. I would be grateful for any pointers.
Many thanks in advance.
Mark

You wrote "I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard" from this I conclude that you choose the deafult option, that says "load external video with plyback component" (only this one offers you a skin wizard). But when you deploy that swf to a server it still needs the flv source (search Help for FLVplayback), and even the Skin (its an extra swf) must be depoyed to the server. What you instead want to do is option 2: embed FLV in swf. There are some disadvantages to this solution: the longer the video, the more probable it is, Audio and Video will get desynchronized, and: you can`t use Adobes premade skins for the controls

Can't open swf files with flash cc installed.

There is no file association on windows 8 to open up swf files.
I don't like opening them up in my browser, is there a standalone app i can install?

You can download the standalone flash player for viewing it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html.

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.
