I need a program that will open flash games and videos. I have an extensive gallery of flash games and videos using a flash saving program, but when I redid my comp, I lost the program I had.


It had nothing around the border like a pause button or anything
The file types are swf.
It could be fullscreened



I am just wondering what program it was. Searching has not worked.

You mean for offline use? Adobe Flash Player 9?
As for flash videos, flv's I think you mean, I enjoy: FLV Player (http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/flv-player/)

Adobe isnt for offline use right? Or am I wrong?


I dl'd it a few times and the damn thing still doesn't open.

And no, not flv. Swf.

Irfanview is what I use, and it can probably fullscreen.

but doesn't it have trouble with games?Nah I was able to play flOw in it. Irfanview's mainly just an image viewer / converter that opens any filetype, so it's a must have imo...

Just open your swf files in IE or firefox. (fullscreen does not work in here, unless it's set in the swf file itself) I have flash cs3 on my pc so I have the adobe flash player associated with my swf files (that can do full screen ctrl+f). It think you even can get this version (let me check, I'll post back when I know something).

I think this what you would be wanting, I couldn't find the link on the adobe site, so I searched for another one.

Yea I just use FF to play my offline flash games... No need for another PoS software program taking up more space on my HDDs.

Well ff always crashes on my windows. No matter what I do.

And fuck all else if I can even open a swf in Ubuntu.

Anything besides fullscreen is unacceptable.

What you described is what I think I had so I will check it out.

And infranview has ALOT of trouble with ALOT of my games.
