Link to open swf in Flash player

I am pretty new at flash and I have been slowly learning the
do's and don'ts of actionscript. I have a problem that I
can’t seem to figure out. Basically I'm trying to open an SWF
file inside my current flash presentation, so basically you click a
button and this SWF file would open I have managed to get this far
using this code:
on(release) {
loadMovie ("ff.swf", 1);;
However it opens within the same window, so it makes the
current flash document useless, basically I just want it so you
click on the link and a new window will open separately so that you
can view the swf file and click on X when you don't need it.
Any Help would be much obliged.

You want to open a new browser window. To do this, you want
to publish the movie ff.swf to create its own html document. Then
you want to open that html doc in its own window. To do that you
would use getURL("ff.html", "_blank"); This will open an whole new
browser window. If you want a custom window without all of the
browser chrome, then you will have to use javascript to open that
window. Do a search on window.open in this forum. You will find
hundreds of examples.

Go to the App Store and download a browser app like Puffin, which will give you some Flash ability. Check the App store to see if the site you are trying to watch the video from has an App.

I have an iMac G5 (20 inch screen) i sight (no intel chip).Leopard OS 10.5.8. Recently I went on Facebook and tried to open a movie site someone had sent me on Facebook andwhen I tried to open the video on Facebook, I was told I had to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player. i tried to do this, but turns out that Facebook is requiring folks to have an intel chip in order to view movies...this is outrageous! Just think of all the folks in the world who have great running pre intel chip Apple computers. I called the Adobe Help line and was told that I really needed to buy a new computer....no thanks. How do I find a way to get a new version of Adobe for Facebook and youtube. I wish Apple could develop a way to have intel chips installed in the older computers. If you have any suggestions on this please let me know.
Thanks, Sarah

Either get a screen cleaning cloth, or carefully us a slightly damp lint-free cloth and dry off with a dry link-=free cloth.
As to Flash Videos: I am in a similar same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube and FaceBook for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

Frustrating attempts to open and download Flash Player.

Hi y'all. I have Windows Vista 64-bit OS and attempting to download Flash Player through Firefox. However, each time I make this attempt,
the "SAVE" box appears followed by the "DOWNLOAD" box that disappears after one second so that I cannot then Open or RUN the Player as requested.
This has happened repeatedly and attempts to do so have appeared on the download history (many of which I'v since erased). The trouble is, I don't know why. I have ceased operation of antivirus programs for this effort as well. What am I doing wrong?

I don't understand what is happening. Can you try to download the installer from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580

Unable to preview published captivate 6 swf in flash player

When I try to view a published preview of a Captivate 6 project, I am directed to the download Flash player page. I have the pugin installed for my browsers already. I am able to open my local .swf files with Flash Player.
When I click Yes on the "Publish completed successfully. Do you wish to view the output?" message I am sent here:Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions.
How do I set Flash Player to open the preview files?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Which browser you are using and you may try to add your projects to Flash Player Global Settings.
If you have Flash Player version lower than 10.3, you can manipulate the settings from Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager in the Global Security Settings panel. It can be done using these simple steps:
Select the Always allow radio button on the top to allow security exceptions. This control is marked as "1" in the image below
From the Edit Locations... drop down box, select "Add location..." option to bring up a dialog box. The drop down box is marked as "2" in the image below
Now select Browse for folder... and browse to the location where you are keeping the chart SWF files
After confirming your selection you should see the path of the exception added in area "3" of the image below
Please let me know if that works.
Regards,
Rajeev.

Help to open and run Flash Player

I use a 1 yr new Dell PC, Windows 7, Internet Exp 11. Over the past year I have downloaded successfully 4x the Adobe Flash Player. It downloads and saves fine in my program files. It does not show up when I click on START, and show on that list. I can only find it if I do a search. When I go to the Adobe site, it shows that I have installed Version newest and current version for Windows. But I cannot get it to open or do anything. I cannot tell you how frustrating this is. I also checked with my McAfee and they insist that nothing they have on my computer is a problem and that I have to talk to Adobe (yeah right, just try and find a number!!!). Can someone please help???????????

1. It WON'T show up in your Start menu because it's a "plugin" for another program and not a program itself. You can find it in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash
2. In your Control Panel under System and Security, you'll find the Global Settings Manager - Flash Player (32bit). THAT won;t be there if it isn't installed.
IE 11 has had numerous problems with numerous sites, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. There's something not right in the code. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Adobe Reader not opening PDF Portfolio - Flash player error

I have Acrobat 9 Standard installed on my PC and I created a PDF Portfolio. Acrobat Standard can open that Portfolio just fine.
I also have Acrobat Reader installed (11.0.2).and have Adobe Flash Player (11.7.700.169) installed. Both Reader and Flash Player work fine independently on PDF or Flash content.
However when I try to open the PDF portfolio with Reader, I get the following Error:
:"To view the Flash technology in this FDF file; please install this version of Flash player that supports Adobe reader and Acrobat".
The Dialog box with the message above has a [Proceed to download page] button (which does nothing but bring up Reader with a black page), a [Learn more] button (similar behavior), and a [Cancel] button. Both Reader and Flash are the latest versions as of today (4/16/2013).
Any help or insight with this is appreciated.
Thanks !
Bruce Dana.

CS 6 MAC will not open after Installing Flash Player

After installing a the latest version of the Flash Player (MAC/Yosemite/Safari) Photoshop CS6, that had been working very well for a couple of years, now it will not open, or is not responding.

It there something I can do?
Please, help.

Can I publish a SWF for flash player 9

Is there a way to publish a SWF file that works in older versions of flash player in Catalyst CS5 or do they have to be published in the latest flash player?

Flash Catalyst projects use Flex 4, which in turn requires Flash Player 10. Among other things, Catalyst relies on FP 10 features to render text that accurately matches your original imported comps, and to support the "rotate 3D" effects available in the timeline.
For general web deployment, this requirement shouldn't be a major obstacle: Flash Player 10 is on 95%+ of Internet-connected computers in most markets (and probably 75%+ of enterprise desktops). Of course circumstances vary, so I apologize if you're stuck due to working in an environment where FP 10 isn't available yet. In these cases, while you'll have to write your final app in a different technology like Flex 3, we hope you'll still find Catalyst to be a valuable rapid-prototyping tool during earlier stages of production.

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.

Captivate 4 will not open with latest Flash Player installed?!

Hi,
I've seen this question already, but there wasn't any working answer.
When I launch Captivate, I get the warning box saying flash player "is not installed or its an older version" - with an OK button which just launches IE to get the player, and closes captivate...
I had beta player 10.1, so obviously it isn't older - but still, I uninstalled it, got the version (10.0.45.2) on the adobe page captivate sent me too and... Captivate still will not work!
I've unistalled the plugin twice, rebooted, checked the version and still Captivate will not launch...still the same message
So how on earth can I even launch Captivate?? Do I really have to roll back to flash 9 or something?? I wouldn't mind, but I don't even use IE!
Any help appreciated (esp. from Adobe!)
Cheers.

I just ran into this problem with Captivate as well. I uninstalled Flash Player 10.1 by going here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
I then downloaded an archived Flash Player here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
It seems the main installer does not incorporate the Active-X version of Flash that Internet Explorer needs. There should be several Windows installers in the download. For example, I used Flash Player 10. The following Windows files were in the package:
•    flashplayer10r45_2_win.exe
•    flashplayer10r45_2_winax.exe
•    flashplayer10r45_2_win_sa.exe
Install the first one and second. The second file is the Active-X Flash version (I’m thinking “winax” means Windows Active-X), which Captivate needs to run. I don’t think you need to install the last file (“win_sa”, I’m thinking the “sa” stands for stand-alone).
