Question

Flash * Player - swf files

I used to be able to double click on an swf file and it would play in the flash player. Now when I try that it get
the Windows "Open With Dialog Box" asking me to select the program that is to play the file. I have made not
major or minor changes to my system. I have Flash 8 Professional and Flash MX 2004 Professional installed
on my system.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Ron

    Find you standalone flash player (SAFlashPlayer.exe) under the macromedia
    program files folder where you installed flash. Run it and exit. That
    should re-register it as the player for local SWF files.
