I have en application Animate on the web (swf).

Many of mine student  from a some months can't opern the swf file with the last version of chrome.

If they connect to the web the start the downlod of the swf file.

This problem does not exist with Explorer, with this browser all it is ok.

Any hints?

Thanks.

    The SWF should work if your browser is set up to allow that site. For me, your SWF worked fine in Firefox and Chrome, but in Safari I had to go into preferences and give the site permission to use Flash Player plugin. Before I made that change the SWF downloaded instead of playing in the browser window. Afterwards it played ok, just like Chrome and Firefox.

    The HTML wrapper may still require the user to give permission for Flash to work, but at least it should stop downloading the file.

    Here's Google's page on setting up Flash Player in Chrome:

    that's a swf.  either enable flash player always (settings>advanced>privacy/security>content>flash) or upload the embedding html to see a prompt.
