Adobe Animate's .swf files don't work at ALL

I've exported my animation out as a .swf file but I can't find it anywhere. Not even on the file explorer. Can someone help?

    I'm assuming your file is not saved in which case the swf is generated in Temp folder by default.

    Please save your file in a new folder and then publish. The swf should then generate in the same folder by default.

    The SWF is saved the same place as the FLA. Where did you save your FLA? You did save your FLA, right?

    And what you mean not even in file explorer? What else would you use to look for files? Powerpoint?

    To expand on what Clay was saying, if you open the FLA and look in publishing settings, you can see where it was that you said to publish the SWF.

    Powerpoint really should have some file searching abilities.

    Hi,

    Have you chosen the .swf as the output format in the publish settings?
