Just a quickie. Does anyone know of an install location for the Macromedia flash player. I've got someone trying to open a flash file, I pointed her to the macromedia website and she installed it. Apparently, filetype .swf is still not associated with an application.

www.macromedia.com/download

Many thanks for the quick reply, but I'm afraid it doesn't quite answer my question (unless I've missed something on the website.

My apologies. I should have been more clear.

She has apparently installed the flash player from that link, but she still cannot open the swf file I sent her, because windows doesn't know which application to open it with.

Can I associate the .swf extention with the player manually, just like any other application, and if so, where do I locate the flash player executable?

Tell her to open a browser window (IE, Firefox, etc.) & to drap/drop the file on that window.

Ah! Thanks!

I have Flash MX installed, which seems to come with a standalone flash player. I'd assumed the downloadable player would be much the same.

I guess It's only an IE plugin then.

Problem solved now though.

Thanks again.
