Adobe Flash Player can open the .swf file in internet explorer or firefox. You can download the player from this http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

You can download macromedia flash player from many sites on the net including www.macromedia.com and www.adobe.com for free.  If you mean the version that lets you create your own flash programs try priceslashsoftware.com

Stick code like this in the BODY of your HTML document\n\n<object width="300" height="400">\n  <param name="movie" value="FILE PATH AND NAME.swf">\n  <param name="quality" value="high">\n  <embed src="FILE PATH AND NAME.swf" quality="high"  width="300" height="400"></embed>\n</object>\n\nThat should work, obviously put in the correct FILE PATH AND NAME.  I say it should work, it did on my computer!!!!\n\nAlso, make sure you put in the correct width and height for your flash movie/file.

it absolutely is. but you have to browse the page with mozilla firefox. Then get to the Tools > Page Info > Media tab and find the swf file in the list. There's a button on the right, "Save As", and you download it to the disk.\n\nThen you either drag and drop it to your browser, or if you have Quicktime or Realplayer you can just open it through them and see it.

Wow, we live in a completely Internet ran world now and this should be more second hand then a question. Anything ran on line and sent over the Internet is sent by a code. Anyone with half a brain can write a code, but real malicious people can have true mastery in setting up an exe in anything. and to answer the question, a .swf is no more safe then any other file format. So if your unsure about things, think about this. Look at the file size if your looking at a image and its going into the MB's there is something fishy unless its huge at like 600DPI, but its common sense in things like this, if your not sure about things scan everything or enjoy having a 3,000 paper weight on your desk. \n\nCOME ON PEOPLE THIS IS COMMON SENSE!

You can maybe create a seperate html page and embed the .swf name of the file you are trying to link to. But you cant link to the file itself, you would just have to link to the page. If you want to do it the way you are talking about, you would have to have the .swf file available.

use "save page as", in your browser that creates a .htm file + a folder. in that folder you should find a .swf file that is your flash animated file

If you cannot find the file in the temp directory, you can follow this very crude method of getting the .swf file. This may not always work, but mostly you can get the file.\n\nIf you are using internet explorer, goto, View >> Source\n\nA notepad window appears with the raw Html code of the page you are currently on...\n\nPress Ctrl + F and find ".swf"\n\nYou'll usually get a link to the flash file that is embedded in the webpage.\n\nJust use a download managerto download the file ;)\n\nResolve to this method if all other methods fail.

The Flash Player is a small(ish) program that allows animated pictures to be displayed on web pages. It is even being used to show movie trailers on some sites. It is easily downloaded by visiting Adobe's website (they just bought Macromedia who wrote Flash Player) click on this link and it will take you staight there! http://www.macromedia.com \n\nFinally, if you are using Windows 98 the latest flash player does not work, it will still install a Flash Player but you won't see all websites correctly. - the times they are a changin'

Hi. Are you trying to play the .swf files on your own pc and not on the net? If so, just clicking them on your pc won't let you play it, even if you have the most updated Shockwave Flash Player.\n\nInstead, try opening them on your browser. Right click the .swf file, and click "Open with", a list of programs will come up. From there choose your Internet browser. (ex. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) If you really have update you Flash Player, you should be able to view them play on your browser. :-)

You cannot edit .swf files; you can only edit .fla files and then the .fla files will generate the .swf files.  If you only have the .swf files, you can try downloading a decompiler to decompile your .swf file back to .fla file.  However, here are some limitations to the decompiler,\n1) Adobe has tightened up their compiling logic.  So, there may not be a whole lot of decompiler that works well.\n2) Let's say there are text in your Flash movie.  If the author put the text there as text, that's one thing; but if the author created those text as images in Photoshop and then just embedded those images in Flash, then you will have a problem retrieving those text in your decompiler.
