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

    Thank you "Jeckyl". I went to the Open As Dialog and located the program you suggested and it works great. Don't know what caused the problem, but
    I and indeed greatful for your assistance.

    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.
