Open Old Flash Player

Want to open and rework file in Flash Player version
5.0.30.0. My current Flash MX2004 version 7.0.1 does not recognize
the older version. Is there any way I can open to older file to
work on it?

Have you tried your Mac user account Admin password?
You could try completely removing Flash and starting over using the uninstaller which should be in your Utilities folder and called 'Adobe Flash Player Install Manager'. That should get rid of all traces of Flash, then redownload and run the installer from: http://www.get.adobe.com/flashplayer

SWF file doesn't open with Flash Player

Hi,
1) I have a swf file on my desktop. Where in my computer should i go to launch Flash Player in order to play the swf file? When I double click on th swf file, it launched Adobe Flash, rather than Flash Player.
2) Furthermore, I have just uninstall Flash Player and re-install the latest version, as the safari browser confirms that I have the ver 14 of Flash Player installed. When I check my Adobe Flash folder, it still has the old Flash Player. How do I get this updated?
3) How can I get the recently installed Flash Player app into my applications folder?
Thank you

Thank you for pointing out that I need to download the projector. How do I ensure that every time I double click on a swf file, it does not launch Adobe Flash Professional, but instead, it launches Flash Player ver 14. Do I have to place the Flash Player Projector in the library or applications, where exactly should it be placed.
Next, when I launched Flash Player ver 14, to open the swf file, I clicked on a button that is linked to a website - I get a message:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation,... To let this application communicate with the Internet, click on settings" I clicked on settings and get the attached panel, which does not make sense to me. And I cannot launch a website by clicking on the button contained in the swf file. Please advise.
I am using a Mac Book Pro, OSX 10.9.3

.swf file created from Indesign won't open in Flash Player

I have created an interactive flash presentation using Indesign. For several weeks I have made edits, exported a .swf file and opened the file by double-clicking it to open in Flash Player. From there I was able to export an .exe file with an embedded projector for users that may not have flash player. The file does not open and asks whcih progrma I would like to open with when clicking the file.
I am running Windows XP, Adobe CS5
Thanks for your help.

That sounds more Windows file association issue.Have you tried to Right-Click your SWF and choosed Open With (or something like that), you can choose Flash Player from that list if it´s installed.

Force linked .swf to open in flash player

i have two files i'd like to play sequentially. both have a
flash preloader appended to them. the captivate file is published,
then externally linked to a flash 8 file with a preloader in it.
the first movie opens in flash player, but when it jumps to the
second (linked) file, it opens in firefox. the files are linked
using captivate 2's option in the export preferences area. i've
looked in the xp file type pane, and flash player 8 is specified as
the default player for .swf files.
thanks,
john

hopefully this isn't a total waste of everyone's time, i seem
to have found the answer! though you can specify which file types
are opened by which applications in xp, firefox seems to override
those settings. if you change the file type preferences in firefox
(in this case you need to switch flash movies to open with flash
player and not the shockwave plugin), it will finally open in flash
player.

My firefox deleted the existing adobe flash player 10.3.183.7 BUT I'm unable to download the new flash drive 10.3.183.10. Can I go back to the old flash player (10.3.183.7)

I am running Windows XP.
my firefox deleted the existing adobe flash player 10.3.183.7 BUT I'm unable to download the new flash drive 10.3.183.10. Now I can't play anything. Can I go back to the old flash player (10.3.183.7)?''

There is something wrong with the download that Adobe is pointing too. You can get the working download here:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_10.exe
That solved my problem immediately.
I got this info from this post on the Adobe forum:

Flash Download Problems
WindowsXP SP3
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20110902 SeaMonkey/2.3.3
(Note well: Internally, SeaMonkey 2.3.3 is the same as Firefox 6.0.2. They both use the same Gecko 6.0.2 for rendering Web pages, interfacing with the Internet, downloading, etc.) They differ only in the user interface (menus, buttons, etc).
I see two problems when trying to download a new version of Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. .
1. Your Web server is sniffing for my browser. I select the "Download now" button, and I get the same page all over again. The navigation is looping. If I spoof Firefox 6.0.2, however, I do get a download. This means you are sniffing for "Firefox" when you should be sniffing for "Gecko".
2. While spoofing Firefox, the download gives me install_flashplayer10_chrd_aih.exe, which is not the installer for Flash Player 10.3.183.10. Instead, it is some kind of helper. To get the correct installer file, I had to search my archives to find the URI http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win /install_flash_player_10.exe.
Both of these problems were previously cited in this forum at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3885371. Neither problem has been fixed.

There never was standalone player for download. It only comes
exclusively with the installation
of Flash application. Publicly available players are only
browser based. If you have an old Flash app,
then you can get the player. That's the only way to have
standalone, installing Authoring flash program.
By the way, when you say "lots of other people...", what you
mean? I see this post first time
in the forum... Perhaps you use wrong phrasing and the thing
you are looking for is not Standalone
Player?

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:

Some video's won't open in flash player

I have windows XP service pack 3 and IE 8. On some web sites, some but not all of the video's won't open.I get no error code or anything, but there is what looks like a capital "T" in the upper left corner of the box where the video should be. There is what looks like a red dot in the left angle of the "T". I have the most current flash player, 10.1.102.64 as confirmed when I go to Adobe ..../about. The same video will play if I use Chrome, and the strange thing is that the same video WILL play if I open IE8 using my wife's user account. I have concluded that it must be one of my IE8 setting, but I have compared setting on the two accounts and I can't find the problem. Any suggestions?

Which file - the .swf or the .exe file?
If the .swf, you need to create a file association to the projector.

How can i open old flash files in MX

I'm trying to open some old flash files that were created in
the late 80's (honest). i have flash MX but it won't open or import
these files. when i get info on the files, they want to be opened
in flash 8 but that won't launch without classic (which no longer
runs on my macbook pro).
any tips would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

Check the folder for the songs on your external hard drive. Is the session file still contained in each one? The session file's the one with the .ses ending.

Installing new and uninstalling old Flash Player

I installed the latest Adobe Flash Player version on my iMac. Now I keep getting an icon and window telling me to install Flash player everytime I click on my hard drive.
When I click to go ahead and install, I receive the message that a later version of Adobe Flash is already installed and that therefore this version cannot be installed.
How can I get this older version to quit popping up telling me to install it every time I click on my hard drive? I put it in the trash, but it comes back again and again when I click on my hard drive icon on the desktop!

When you click on your hard drive? Opening the Mac HD uses Finder. Flash Player doesn't even factor into that.
Are you sure you aren't seeing it every time you open Safari?
And is THIS what you're seeing?

.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 to get flash video to open in flash player

I would like to produce a link in Dreamweaver that points to
a flash video that would open in the actual flash player interface
window. Every time I try to link the swf file in Dreamweaver, it
wants to open the flash video in a new internet explorer window
instead of just opening it in the flash player interface. When this
happens, it enlarges the video to fit the explorer window. How do I
get my desired result?

perhaps a character that isn't all that special to you is
quite special to dw? a surefire way to tell would be for you to
post it here....

HP printer software includes old flash player that poses critical security risks

I would like to use the HP Solution Center for a Photosmart C309a printer but the HP software includes an older flash player (Adobe Flash Player 9.0 r115) that poses critical security risks.
HP includes this old flash version at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Digital Imaging\help\player\FlashPla.exe
Is there a way to update this HP program file to a safe version of Flash Player?
I think this is a generec security issue, but if it helps I run Windows 7 64-bit.

Hello dghdah,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are looking for an updated version of Adobe Flash Player to use with Solution Center. When you install the Solution Center, normally Windows would skip the older version as your OS may have an up to date version. If this is not the case and the older version installed, you would need to update the flash player. Below I have linked you to the Adobe website to complete the update.
