Hi,

Looks like swiff player requires Flash Player ActiveX Control for IE (see GlobFX Knowledge Base: I have installed Swiff Point Player, but I am still not able to insert a Flash movie in my PowerP…). You have installed Flash Player Plugin (for Firefox browsers). You didn't specify your operating system, however, it appears you have Windows 7 or lower.  If so, please do the following.

  1. Go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions
  2. In step 1 select 'Windows 7/Vista/XP'
  3. In Step 2 select 'Flash Player 20 for Internet Explorer - ActiveX'
  4. Click the 'Download Now' button
  5. The installer will download and be saved to your system. Locate it and double-click to launch.
  6. Follow on-screen prompts to install Flash Player ActiveX Control
