Stand alone flash player

[EscSysRq1]

Downloaded an swf file but you do not know how to open it? You try to download a flash player from its website but it only works on a web browser. the only option to you is to install Flash, this is impractical if you only want to open swf files and not edit them considering the cost of buying the software.

I usually go to some flash sites with online games, then later ill browse my temporary internet folder for these swf files. Store them in a folder on my drive, then later whenever i wanted to play these flash games i would just simply go over to my saved swf folder and run it from there.

Adobe flash actually has its stand alone flash player. i you just know where to locate them on their site. The only catch is that its description is not clearly defined and explained.

To get the stand alone flash player go to the flash download page and scroll down to the link marked similar to this "Adobe Flash Player Projector Content", Choose an OS version and download it. Double click on the downloaded application and drag swf into it to play.

Yes but not every kind of SWFs,

swf can have various kind of contents so some may not play on Media player such as 360° panoramas wont play in media player.

Its better to have a dedicated player or best is to associate the swf files with IE, that wil take care of many issues.
