Macromedia Flash Player for .swf

Can anyone tell me that is Macromedia Flash Player necessory
to open any .swf file on our machine? Or can we open any .swf file
without installing any version of Macromedia Flash Player?
Thanks in advance :)

Then you already have the flash player control .. so you can
view swf files
in the web browser. That is the only free and distributable
player.
There is no free distributable stand-alone player. one comes
with Flash
itself (the authoring program), but you cannot redistribute
it.
You can, however, convert a SWF file into a standalone player
that includes
the player .. this is called a "projector".

  • System requirements for Macromedia Flash Player 

    Hi i was wondering if any one could help me i had a new
    computer that's a Pentium 4. I was unable to install Macromedia
    Flash Player so i looked at the system requirements and found that
    only Pentium lll and below can support it. Is there any thing i can
    do?????

    Perhaps you misread the requirements. I believe for flash
    player 9 and 8 the requirments says Pentium II 450 or

  • Cant uninstall Macromedia Flash Player 6

    My system is unable to uninstall and upgrade from Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21. I have tried the Flash Player uninstall and the Flash Player 6 uninstall. I have manually deleted the Flash.ocx files wherever they occur.
    The Adobe Website acknowledges the latest Flash Player installed on my system, but when right click on a flash file I still only get the oprion of open with: Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21.
    Ther are files which prompt me to upgrade to the latest Flash Player, which I have done on many occasions. Remove programs does not even list the Macromedia Flash Player 6.
    I have even tried to upgrade to the later versions of versions Macromedia Flash Player 6, without success. I simply cannot get rid of Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21
    I have Windows XP home SP2
    Can anybody help?

    "The Adobe Website acknowledges the latest Flash Player installed on my system, but when right click on a flash file I still only get the oprion of open with: Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21."
    Flash is designed to play SWF content inside a browser. It's a browser plugin.  It's not designed to open local SWF on your system as an installed application.  So when you update to Flash player 10, you're updating your Flash Player ActiveX control (for IE windows) or the Flash Player plugin (for Firefox and all other OS/browsers).
    So, when you point your browser to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome and it says you have Flash Player 10 then you have the most recent version.  If you need to open a local SWF launch your browser and use file:open
    Now, if you really want to try to get the older player off your machine I'd use the command line uninstall in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402435.html
    (but keep in mind that should uninstall ALL Flash Player files from your machine, so you'd have to resinstall FP10 afterwards).

  • Why am I and my Flash app users continuously bombared with "A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player-"

    I'm experiencing a severe backlash from users of Flash
    applications due to the frustration generated from encountering a
    continuous bombardment of messages during the intialization of
    Flash applications that reads:
    "A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 8
    to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become
    unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"
    What's worse is there are only two, very limited options for
    users. The first is to continue on and the second is to simply
    abandon the app and apparently forget about trying to accomplish
    whatever it was you were accessing the application for. I'm going
    to continue scouring Live Docs, Google, etc and hopefully I'll be
    able to post my own answer soon. In the meantime, any input on the
    matter would be VERY welcome.
    Can anyone shed some light on this please?

    You're saying "users of Flash applications." Do you mean
    *all* Flash
    applications? Or just one?

    You don't have to scour very far. This message occurs when
    something
    inside a given SWF file is poorly written -- perhaps an
    infinitely recursing
    function, perhaps some other un-optimized looping or an
    incredible amount of
    unchecked math operations. But this certainly isn't something
    that just
    happens.
    Can you nail this to one particular file? If so, the
    developer of that
    file needs to start troubleshooting her/her own code.

  • Can't update or uninstall Macromedia Flash player!

    Hi folks!
    I've got a problem concerning the automatically installed Flash player. I am using a Qosmio G20.
    While installing a new program (Lexware Financial Office) this program tried to update the Macromedia Flash player to the newest version. But the deinstallation of the old player was interrupted and the following message was displayed:
    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'install_flash_player_7.msi' in the box below.
    Use source:
    C:\Sysprep\
    Closing this window does end the whole installation process of this new program.
    After that I opened the list of installed programs to uninstall Flash manually, but with the same result.
    Then I searched the internet for this install_flash_player_7.msi. I found the file but I still can't remove or update the Flash Player.
    As a last chance I backed up all my data and used the recovery DVD to reinstall the whole system. Without installing any additional application, I had a look at the list of installed programs and guess what? The Flash Player has already been installed, so it is part of the recovery DVD.
    But why can't it be uninstalled? I really need to get rid of the old player to be able to install Lexware Financial Office...
    Thank you for your help in advance!
    Yvonne

    Thanks Eldorado,
    but I think I explained it not exactly enough: I know that the old Flash installation is looking for a file that seems to be on antoher pc / server / disc or what ever, but the problem is, that I did not install the Flash Player that I would like to remove, respectively upadte to the newest version.
    It is part of the Toshiba Recovery DVD. That means, after killing the HD and setting up the system completely new with the Toshiba Recovery DVD, this little tricky Flash Player is already installed.
    It seems to be that there is a wrong link or setup on this DVD. But if that is the case, I can not be the only one with this problem, or?
    And is there any way to remove this thing manually?
    Again, thanks in advance.

  • Flash Player for Firefox on Win 8 / 64 bit

    I'm trying to install Flash Player for Firefox on a Windows 8, 64 bit system, but have been having no end of grief. 
    I've finally traced the problem back to the origin, and it's happening because when I enter the info on the download page, it serves up the installer for the 32 bit version instead. 
    It does in fact verify on the page that I'm requesting and downloading the 64 bit version, but what I receive and then install is 32 bit.  And consequently, I can't get Flash Player to work in Firefox.
    Is there any way at all I can access the real 64 bit Flash Player for Firefox / Windows 8?

    There is no separate 32-bit and 64-bit installer; on a 64-bit system the installer will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players.
    Download the installer from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

  • I cannot watch video's in the mobile web without a currect flash player for mobile phone! what virsion of player i need?

    I can't watch video's in the mobile web without a currect flash player for mobile phone's. what do I need to do(what is the currect virsion)?
    If you have an answer just send it to me by e-mail!
    [email protected]

    If you find anything out please share.  I have flash projects (SWF) files created in Captivate 5 that play fine in Flash and Dreamweaver, but freeze up on the web in safari, firefox, opera and chrome.  Even files that used to play just fine.  This upgrade has been a nightmare - I have spent hours troubleshooting to no avail.  It does not seem to be a problem for windows users - only macs.

  • "Macromedia Flash Player"; vs. "Flash Player?"

    My new camera says
    I need to download "Macromedia Flash Player": is that the same as "Flash Player?
    I tried to download the new Flash Player just in case and kept getting an error.  During the download attempts it said I already had it (flash player) and asked if I wanted to rerun it.  That's what failed repeatedly.  It keep telling me I had to close "conflicting" Yahoo Messenger and Internet Explorer before it could continue.  How do I close something that isn't running?  I am "multiply" confused.  Can you advise?

    Hopefully everything will work now, but I'm still confused.  I didn't get a chance to follow your instructions because in the process of trying to figure out how to close internet explorer and yahoo messenger without shutting down the install page; I succeded and then Incredimail popped up on the screen to "complete" the install it had been trying to do since yesterday.  As soon as  I managed to close those programs, it was all automatic.  I restarted AGAIN, just to make sure.  I went to the link you sent and it says I have:
    You have version 10,1,53,64 installed
    However, when I open program "add/delete" on my computer; as before, it lists the Flash Player but there aren't any MB listed like all the other programs have.  I know it's working because Incredimail came back on.  Of course,  initially I tried loading the new player because my photo program claimed it couldn't run without it.  Why would they say that if I already had it because it appears that I did until I started messing with things.  Somehow it then went away.  I'll try my photo  program again tomorrow if I can find time.  I have 2 doctor appointments. 
    Thanks so much for all your help.  I hope you don't mind if I "keep you", at least until I make sure the photo program is happy with the Flash Player.  Thanks and good night

  • Query Flash Player for status

    I watch shows and videos on web sites like abc.com, cbs.com and hulu.com. Often the web site uses Flash Player to display these videos.  I wrote a plug-in for my Firefox web browser to log what I have watched or (if I had to stop) where I left off.  However, I have been unable to find how to query the Flash Player for the video's name or status.  Any ideas?

    Just a random thought for getting video file name.
    Whenever a flash movie loads(or gives a server call) a video u can check the firebug plugin it will show u the link of the actual file.
    Maybe if there is some way you can read that firebug stream and get the filename.
    For status of the player i think you need to communicate with the flash swf file itself.

  • How to uninstall Macromedia Flash Player 8

    I don't remember when I installed this hideous software! And it doesn't exist in the Applications Folder and cannot be found with Spotlight (that I find useless BTW).
    Unfortunately this "Macromedia Flash Player 8" is set as default for all .flv videos. If I try to play a video by double clicking on it, the "Macromedia Flash Player 8" icon shows on the Deck but doesn't play a thing. The only to play a video is to choose another application from the right click menu every time I want to play a clip!
    I tried Adobe's website but failed to find a solution for Mac users!
    I'd be grateful if someone can:
    1) help me remove this application for good.
    2) help me set default applications and preset them with certain file extensions because if I choose another application and ask to ALWAYS OPEN WITH, still it didn't work in this case!

    Thank you all for your contribution.
    I have no clue how or when I mistakenly installed this Flash 8. Anyway, all the above I have tried but of no use.
    My last resort -which thank God worked for me- was to uninstall all Adobe software to avoid confusion. I use AppDelete that helped clear the remaining leftovers
    Then I used Spotlight as advised above, but at first it didn't help because the application couldn't be found in any search as if it is unlisted... until I used the Spotlight to search for old applications by date where I found the icon f in a blue circle representing the Flash 8. I deleted it and that was the end of it.
    I reinstalled all Adobe applications back... and all is well.
    Thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

  • Downloading from a Macromedia Flash Player Video

    Is it possible to download a video message sent through
    Sightspeed, that is in a Macromedia Flash Player format? I've tried
    to right click it and all I get is Macromedia Flash Player
    Settings.

    oldmovieguy:
    See if you can use Image Capture (located in the Application folder) to upload the video file to the desktop before importing into iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    *Flash Player for PPC Macs*
    Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
    To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    Read this whole post before proceeding.  You have to follow steps precisely and there is mention of an alternative version of Flashplayer at the end that some have decided to try.
    To update you should download:
    Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
    Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip]  Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
    To install:
    1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
    2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
    3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
    [Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
    [What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
    5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
    6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
    7) Restart your computer.
    Notes:
    Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.
