Hi, thanks for reading.

I am updating an old site that uses flash.

CS5.5 DW: in the properties palette, the play button will not play any embedded swf. in the html document I am viewing

Nor will LiveView show the flash file .swf

Any ideas?

Thanks so much,

Wrmely

Not too surprising.  Flash is dead.   I haven't been able to view Flash content for more than a year in Firefox.  And my other browsers have disabled Flash player plugins by default now.

Hi Nancy and Ben, thanks for answering.

Very much appreciate.

I must have phrased this question wrong...lets try again...

Am asking about viewing the .swf in the DW interface, not a browser.

Could / can anyone view the swf in this interface?

... or no one is familiar with this older cs5.5 flash properties palette set up?

What do you think?

thanks again so much,

Warmly

Hope
