Chrome and flash issue

[Jhon Carlo]

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.

what's the url?

Thank you kglad

This is an exemple:

http://giancarlograndi.altervista.org/Applicazioni/Jazz%20Patterns/Composizione_di_Jazz_patterns.swf

[kglad]

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

[Jhon Carlo]

I had already given this indication,

but the problem persists.

I mean it persists on several computers with Chrome

despite what you kindly pointed out and that I had already explained to the students.

[kglad]

use an embedding html or contact google about a work-around.

[Jhon Carlo]

I suppose that you  for «embedding html»  mean this:

[kglad]

i mean publish an html file from animate and upload the html file to your server.

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:
