New Edge version 79.0.309.71 (official build) (64 bit) cannot run swf file

[passegua]

I used the previous Edge Legacy version and could successfully run swf Flash file.

The Microsoft Edge new version 79.0.309.71 (official build) (64 bit)  cannot.

I had set "Flash Allow" but when I click on the link the swf file will be downloaded instead of running!

So how could I run those file?

My site is plenty of old Flash swf games and I can use them only using Firefox (version 72.0.2 64 bit)

btw this is the file I cannot run: Game

Since the new Edge is Chromium-based it uses the Flash Player PPAPI plugin, not the Flash Player ActiveX Control Microsoft embeds in IE & legacy Edge.  Using the new Edge browser go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download and install Flash Player PPAPI plugin.

The new Edge browser is based on Chromium, which is a different technology from the legacy Edge browser.

The content you are attempting to view is a SWF file.  Chromium-based browsers do not play SWF file, it has to be wrapped in HTML for Chromium-based browsers to play the content.  This is a browser feature/limitation and nothing to do with Flash Player itself.  You'll need to use a different (non-Chromium browser) to view SWF files in the browser.

Thank you maria__1 I understand new Edge is Chromium base and I already downloaded the Flash Player PPAPI plugin.

Would you kindly give me an example about how wrap my swf file in HTML page?

I'd like to use as long as possible (until 2020 Dec) the many swf files I host on my web site.

There are numerous options, including using Adobe Animate (formerly Adobe Flash Authoring/Pro). Performing an internet search for something like 'wrap SWF in html' returns many options.

Ok, I understand. Thanks.

<Edit>
Microsoft embeds Flash Player PPAPI plugin in the new Chromium-based Edge.  There is no need to install it manually (for SWF content that is properly wrapped in HTML).  Like in legacy Edge, and Google with Chrome, Microsoft does block/disable Flash Player in Chromium-Edge.  You'll need to go to edge://settings/content/flash and toggle the Ask before running Flash (recommended turned off) from off > on:

After Allowing Flash,  you can Allow it in the browser:

Since new Edge is Chromium-based, Google's Enable Flash in Chrome tech note still applies: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6258784
