Problem with games requiring Flash

Question

I have Windows 7, Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player version 28.0.0.161.

I have a few games on my computer that require Flash Player to work properly and even though I have it, they don't work. One of the games says that I need to install Flash Player version 8 or higher. I have the up-to-date version, but it keeps saying the same thing. One of my games I was able to play for some time, but at one point it freezed and didn't let me progress. I found out that other people had the same problem and it seemed to be because of Flash. Apparently I had also missed some cutscenes, because Flash didn't play them. The third game I was able to play normally, but it didn't show me any cutscenes.

I investigated the game files and found the cutscenes, that were SWF-files. Flash works normally on my browser, so I was able to play SWF-files there. I also downloaded the Flash Player Projector. The SWF-files play there too and I set the files to play there by default, but the games still don't work.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash, restarting my computer and setting the game folders as trusted locations in advanced settings. Nothing works. Any idea where the problem is or what I should do?

I found the solution! Apparently the game I play checks if Internet Explorer has Flash Player (I don't know why?). I installed Flash Player using IE, and know eveything works.
