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 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

  • SWF files doesn't show in flash

    I converted some videos into swf files. I opened them in flash player and they all look fine,  but when I imported one  in flash and put it in the scene the only thing visible was a small white circle, like the one that appears at the center of the objects when you select them. It couldn't be moved, it could barely be selected  and it doesn't show up when testing the movie.  I don't need to edit the video in flash, I just want to put it together with other elements, something similar to this http://mawichan.deviantart.com/art/Oban-WEB-PAGE-381429374
    I have the suspicion that they don't work because they were not originally made in flash, since I have worked with swf files in flash before, but those were banners previously made in flash.
    However I would like to hear the opinion and/or advice of someone who knows more  than me, I am still a beginner.
    Thank you.

    video files should be played in flash using the flvplayback component (or using the netstream class), not converted to swfs. ie, create a fla, add an flvplayback component to your stage and, in the properties panel, assign the component's source to be your video file.  (use a relative path.)

  • When loaded in an internet browser, a Captivate 2 exported flash player 8(.swf) file doesn't pause when it should

    I have made tutorials using Captivate 2 and exported them as
    an .swf file. When played in Flash Player 8, when previewed in
    Captivate 2, and when loaded in an internet explorer, it doesn't
    pause at each slide like I have programmed it to do in Captivate 2.
    I have put buttons in each slide and make them pause the slide
    until the viewer clicks on it an tells it to move on. It randomly
    doesn't pause and continues on to the next slide. It sometimes
    works and sometimes doesn't work. It's not consistently one slide
    and not another. It is random. Does anyone have a clue what is
    wrong?

  • 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.

  • 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
    .exe. How i can do this ?

    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.

  • .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.

  • Flash CS5.5, SWF file doesn't load TLF text.

    Hiya,
    I just downloaded the trial version of Flash 5.5. I was trying to a tutorial from  Adobe Classroom in a Book: Flash Professional CS5. I was trying to do lesson 7 which is all about TLF text.
    In the tutorial, you insert text that is TLF text. Most of the text doesn't do anything (it's Read-Only). But there is one area that is supposed to be a Mortgage Calcualtor and functions with ActionScript.
    I inserted the ActionScript that makes the Mortgage Calculator text do the proper math. My problem happens when I try to test the movie: the SWF file doesn't display any of the TLF text, and the Output panel gives me the following:
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TLFTextField is not defined.
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TCMText is not defined.
    I am confused because there aren't any variables with those names in any of the files of the tutorial, or in the ActionScript I entered. Where is Flash getting those variable names from? O_o
    I even turned the text back into Classic text to see if that helped, but I still get the error. Could this be a glitch with Flash 5.5?
    Thanks for your time.
    Tara

    That file has all the menu items in it.
    A crossdomain file is use as a security measure. Perhaps I see it because I use a webpage on my own server to display your SWF file. Check to see if that's the case with you.
    But I gave it another try.
    I downloaded the menu.swf and the xml file and stored them in a folder. I use a custom webpage and stored that in the same folder.
    Instead of the full URL is simply use the filename.
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1"
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/ flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0"
    width="870" height="800">
    <param name="movie" value="menu.swf">
    <param name="quality" value="High">
    <embed src="menu.swf"
    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1"
    width="870" height="150"></object>
    That works.
    When I paste the <object> code in the HTML Snippet and use relative URLs to the menu in the folder mentioned above, I noticed that the XMLHorizontalMenu.xml is expected to be in the Pagename_files folder. That folder belongs to the iWeb pages it is embedded in. When I put the xml file there, the menu works.
    You have to check the design of the menu.swf file.
    Otherwise, store all files in a separate folder and use a <iframe> to embed it.

    In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

    Hi iednolb
    Like the original poster,T, I am having very similar problems, so have been following your advice with interest, but no success.
    My details as follows :  Vista, 32bit, IE 8  My only AV is Kaspersky using their firewall not Windows,
    Flash was working fine, then some malware was discovered and  subsequently deleted since then Flash has not worked in You Tube for example.
    Like T said in his original post the exact applies regards the Shockwave Flash Object not being listed in my Internet add ons.
    My files listed under Flash differ though :
    Flash101ocx
    FlashInstall
    FlashUti101_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUti101_ActiveX      (note no .dll )   I assume the uninstaller and no install mentioned
    As I said I have tried most of the suggestions to the letter made here and on other forums but no joy.
    Appreciate any further advice, especially on the missing install entry and the add ons section.
    Thanks.

  • I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

    Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
    If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
    I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

    Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
    I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
    Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

  • Issues with Flash player in CC

    Hi,
    I am facing this issue with Flash in CC. We have recently upgraded our Adobe suite from CS6 Master Collection to Adobe Creative Cloud ENT.
    The video playback in the software(Flash in CC) is incredibly slow and choppy, which makes it difficult for students to work on their animation.
    This is happening with all PCs using Flash CC, there are few students who have Flash CS6 on their PCs and they aren’t having this problem.
    Thanks,
    Ram

    Hi Mohan,
    Thanx for the response. below are my specs:
    Specs:
    Windows 7 Pro, Service pack 1, build 7601
    Intel Core i5 760 2.8Ghz
    5 GB RAM
    Nivdia Gefore GT 220
    Just tried your recommendations.
    The performance issue exists for both the stage/timeline playback as well as test movie. I tried the suggestion to close the timeline and it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
    When playing back footage, the FPS display on the timeline can be seen to fluctuate.
    I’ve also tried another thing: Closing Flash CC and opening the test movie SWF file, which opens in Flash Player 11 and it plays perfectly fine.
    Tanx.. Ram

I am getting error saying 'Install latest flash player'.
    Is there any way to export  swf files in different  versions?
    Is this build is compatible with only flash 10?
    Thanks,

    Xcelsius only support Flash version from 9 on. There is no way to export to 6,7 or 8.
