Running an flash swf file..

Recommended Posts

Win 10, defaults to Firefox but Chrome also loaded.

An swf file - apparently written with Active Script - downloaded to HDD.

Essentially it is all audio content, other than a splash screen which shows for approximately 10 seconds.

The splash states that the playback can be slowed by pressing 'any key'....

(Please! Resist the temptation!)

Forget running it in Chrome : apparently the latest versions prefer HTML over flash content due to security reasons.

Firefox will run it, but the 'any key' business doesn't work.

Likely solutions, please?

 

Sorted.

Downloaded a standalone flash player from Adobe.

Alot of browsers block all flash content by default because of the man serious security flaws with the software.

As I discovered this morning!

Chrome does something very strange : following a warning about the file being potentially dangerous, you have the choice of 'keeping' or 'discarding'... if kept, all of a sudden you have another copy of it located (in my case) in the downloads folder.

Try and run that one, and decide again to 'keep', you have yet another copy saved...
