RE: FLASH: Buggy Flash SWFs?

[Jason Bouwmeester]

jd,


It must be something with the player because it is a 5 .swf but I have Flash

5 installed so shouldn't that call up the Flash 5 standalone player? I also

have Flash 4 installed as well - Flash 4 was installed first and then Flash

5 was installed. You know what? I just checked and when I double click the

.swf and then right click, it lists at the bottom "About Flash 4 Player..."

- how do I get it to default to play with the Flash 5 Player? Am on

Windows...


Thanks,

jb

Hmm, if this is "What's a way a movie can work in Preview, and work in a

browser, but fail if I doubleclick it?" then one way is if the doubleclick

calls up the Macromedia Flash 4 standalone player, rather than the 5.0

version. That's one way to reach the description, although I can't tell if

it's *the* way, though. (But I may have misunderstood the scenario too...)
