Need swf file to play locally on simple desktop...

[v4long]

Hello world.

I am needing to have five desktops able to play a swf file locally.  Not using a browser.  I can't even remember if this is possible.  I am wondering if I only have to create an exe file instead since the program will be played on a dumbed down desktop.

Thanks in advance.

You can download the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so any file associations must be done manually.

...not sure if my issue is similar. I need to create auto-play presentations on CD using Adboe Presenter 7, which will play for any number of users with or without internet connection. Do I need to download this player to make that work, and what file association issues do i need to address and how?

I have not downloaded from your link yet but would it allow me to simply double click my swf file and have it play automaticaly?  If not then I am just going to export out from my Flash project an exe file instead.

... I have downloaded the latest from your link to a laptop with a smaple swf file and the swf still does not know what to use to play it.  I have tried going to the folder option then selecting the file type swf and telling it what program to use but I can not locate the player I downloaded from the link you provided.

When I play the swf on the machine I created the swf from (has Adobe CS5.5 suite installed) the swf icon appears and it opens right up by itself without the use of a browser.

All most there...

Download it again, then note where you downloaded it to.  Or do a search for the file after you downloaded it.
