I'm looking for a program that opens and plays .swf files on my computer, not off the internet (in a web browser). I went through marcomedia.com, but all I found were installers asking for my IE plug-ins folder, I want one that will open .swf files that I have on my HD.
Thanks in advance. :)
What u r asking is very weird ? I use explorer like everybody
whatever Good luck ! ;)
IrfanView with all the plugins installed will open almost everything.
And there's nothing wierd about it. IE won't open a local .swf unless you have a program installed to do that.
Lol. Its because some of the shockwave files I have, when I open them with IE they don't open. But when I open them with Opera, they do open. I don't wanna open them with Opera all the time, and IE won't open some of them. I remember havn't a program like this, can't figure out what it was.
.swf are flash files I would think if you have Macromedia flash plugins, which are almost usually asked to DL if you don't have them, it should work.
If you dowload flash the program it comes with a player which plays .swf files on your pc.
if you want to do it a long (well sort of long way try this)
Open Notepad (or something that will make HTML)
add this
===============================
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<TITLE>Untitled-1</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- URL's used in the movie-->
<!-- text used in the movie-->
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" id="Untitled-1" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Untitled-1.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="Untitled-1.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" NAME="Untitled-1" ALIGN=""
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
====================================
Change the VALUE, HEIGHT, WIDTH, ID, NAME, EMBED src to what your .swf is
====================================
save as something.HTML
and make sure that both the HTML and .SWF are in the same folder then preview in your browser.
hope that helped :)
I could make you a small program to play the files in if you wanted.
i think media player classic plays them
What is so weird about it? You have to be online all the time in order to use Internet Explorer. What KrackHead2k wants is a program that will play the .swf files offline after downloading them.Quote:

There are several programs that can do this. My favorite is Media Player Classic. Media Player Classic is bundled together with both QuickTime Alternative and Real Alternative available for download from the K-Lite site.
@mail2me
Wow Media Player Classic is great, thanks! :)
@Feeling Disturbed
No its okay, I don't need one. But thanks for the offer! :)
@Everyone Else
I'm all set, thanks for replying! :)
k so my recommendation is you get Swish (the so-called "newbie flash maker") and you preview it there....

Oh, there we are! Thats what I was looking for! Media Player Classic and the rest are good, but this is the original and best for .swf files. Thanks BigTcronic! :)Quote:

Wow Do U have brain ?
just draw the swf to any explorer window without being connected and the swf will play !
anyway Iam always connected HA HA HA HA
Earlier versions of IE couldn't play "swf" files. You also still need the flash plug-in to be installed onto the browser. You don't need any of that with a standalone player. Also there are no controls such as a slide to fast forward the clip with IE unlike with a standalone player.Quote:

You can view graphic files such as "jpg" and "bmp with IE too but that is not preferred to a separate graphic viewer such as ACDSee which gives more controls. Same case here. Does anybody think that using a program such as ACDSee to view jpg graphic files and photos weird just because you can do it with IE too? <_<
