Play SWFs standalone
Must be pretty basic, sorry, am new.
This is the problem: I got an SWF playing - standalone, not
in a browser. From a menu in that SWF I want to be able to launch a
different SWF, if possible in the same player. But when I use "get
URL" in my menubuttons it launches the browser to play the swf. So
how can I get my button to open the swf standalone?
All help will be welcome, thanks in advance

The purpose of the getURL() function, and its method cousin,
MovieClip.getURL(), is to open a browser, so the behavior
you're seeing is
fully expected. Same goes for an HTML on your local machine:
if it
contains an anchor tag, the linked-to document opens in a
browser -- it's
just that you're usually already in a browser when reading an
HTML document.
To load SWFs into the same Flash Player, whether that's a
stand-alone
Projector of the browser plug-in, use either loadMovie(),
loadMovieNum(),
MovieClip.loadMovie(), or the MovieClip loader class. The
ActionScript 2.0
Language Reference gives you plenty of detail about the
differences among
these four.

Using Flash to play .swf
I've installed Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on my Mac (Mac OS 10.7.5; browser: Safari) and now would like to set it as default to play .swf files. However, it does not appear in my Applications when I try to set the default program. Where is it and how can I set it as the default program to run .swf files?
Thanks,
NadKrogYou can use the standalone Flash Player (Projector) to play local .swf files; download it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

OSX 10.5.2 and AR8.1.2 playing swf files
After applying the latest Apple updates to OSX 10.5.2 I find that I can no longer play
swf files from within a PDF file. I'm using AR8.1.2 with FP9,0,115,0 . Consider
the example:
http://www.amrita-cfd.org/4adobe/swf/swf.pdf
It contains an /Annot "Click to activate SWF!" that is supposed
to play the swf, but when I click it: a progress bar "buffering" appears
in the bottom right corner of the screen and then hangs. The swf file
is included as an attachment, shock-tube.swf, which can be
opened in an external viewer and so I don't think the swf file
is the problem.
I have the same problem with the PDF available at:
http://acrobat.timhuff.net/?p=92
where the swf is embedded using Acrobat,
rather than my homebrew approach.
I would very grateful if anyone could shed light
on this problem.
Thanks,
James QuirkJames,
I am seeing what you are seeing even on pdfs with swfs that I created
that previously worked. I guess we will need to file a bug report.

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much? -

Is there a way to play SWF (Flash Player) files on QuickTime? Thanks.
You've gotten some correct and incorrect answers. Here's the stuff you need to know.
The free Quicktime Player can open and view .swf (Flash) only if the files were "published" from the Flash app that created them in Flash version 5 format.
Since Flash has moved to version nine there are many of those files to be found.
QuickTime can also play Flash (same version 5 requirements) inside QuickTime formats like .mov but you must "enable" that option using the QuickTime System Preference pane.
I use Flash tracks in many of my older QuickTime .mov files and they work just like those viewed in the Flash Player (mouse clicks and interactivity). Here is one example I made in 2002:

Here is another example using Flash tracks as a movie controller:

Play swf in windows mobile.
HI all,
I wanted to play swf files in my windows mobile 6.1 and installed the software from
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/downloads/player.html
but I am still not able to run any files.
Am I on the correct way or is there any other software I need to install....??
Suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Pranav ShahHello Everybody.
I downloaded the trial first, which was limited in that no video conversion could be carried out. Bit of a waste of time as far as writing a review on the software was concerned so I purchased the full version using the link on the trial screen...

How to play swf files in quicktime
I have recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my MBP. Before I could play swf files (with no associated html files) in Quicktime okay, but in Snow Leopard you cannot select the swf to play. Is there a plug in that I now need to play this?
Perian is definitely not the route. Frrom http://perian.org :
File formats: AVI, DIVX, FLV, MKV, GVI, VP6, and VFW
SWF is a special container made by Adobe Director and can be played back with streaming software, such as a Web page that has the Adobe Shockwave plugin. Open an SWF file in Safari or other browser after installing the latest Shockwave Player, free from Adobe. Some other software that is designed for streaming playback can play SWF media, but not a typical video player like QuickTime Player.
The contents of an SWF container might include an FLV video file or bitmap images either alone or with other data. Shockwave Player has 3D graphics and interaction options (can capture video, sound, mouse movements etc. from your system by default and send them to a remote server if you don't turn off these permissions).

Unable to play SWF media embedded in PDF
Hello,
Adobe Reader does not play SWF media embedded in PDFs, if SWF version is higher than 6. I get the error "The media clip cannot be played in rhe manner that the author intended. You may need to upgrade your player software or install new player software".
I have installed Adobe Reader 9.3.0 and Acrobat Flash Player 10. Acrobat Flash Player plays all my SWF files without problem in Firefox browser .
If I change version byte to 6 in the SWF media, Reader happily plays it.
Best regards,
AngelinaDoes the ICM script make it through the SendtoVRU node successfully? If so then on the gateway run

This will show you any issues that are actually happening with playing media......
Does the router call log on the AW show any error that you can paste? Paste a screenshot of the ICM script maybe?

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).
Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.

Hi,
I'm brand new to programing, so my knowledge is limited. But
I'm having a
similar problem where my swf appears but sits on frame 1. I
have a
preloader
set up on fr2. But it just gets stuck there (fr1). I know the
plugin is
installed but not sure why it won't display my movie. I know
it's
happeneing
only with IE and XP and XPpro. Any ideas?
>>
>>
Sorry, I since realized that it's not getting stuck on fr1.
It's just
displaying the bg color in the html page while it's waiting
for the swf to
load. But the swf never loads. It just sits there. I've tried
using
different embed tags, etc. But no-go.
Here's the first example-
<body>
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0"
cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><div align="center">
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

rsion=6,0,29,0" width="800" height="600">
<param name="movie" value="NINA.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="NINA.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800"
height="600"></embed>
</object>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>

from
Adobe....
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

requiredMinorVersion, requiredRevision);

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="200" height="100">
