Unable to open swf file locally

Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. In reply to F. Farah's post on March 30, Hello Farah. Thanks for the answer! I have already done this but still I cannot open any swf files with Edge. The version is It's fairly important for ensuring the content matches as much as possible. Is there or will there be a solution to allow locally-accessed swf files to play?

From my understanding, if you have a older browser for example Internet Explorer and you have not removed the Flash plugin, you will still be able to view SWF content in the browser whether it is a local file or on a website. If you have newer browsers and update them, then they will no longer allow Flash content to be viewed.

I haven't tried it myself. It does claim to provide a standalone application on your computer that can open local SWFs. The site states that Ruffle was developed specifically to preserve access to Flash content. Flash Player will no longer load content from the open web after Jan 12, This includes the debugger and standalone player. I'm not sure about the bundled. If you want to test it, you can set the date forward to Jan 13, and see what happens. For local file and intranet playback, you can use the Enterprise Enablement features to allow local content playback after January 12th.

Now that I answered to my first question , I bring up my second question, which remains unswered: Why is it allowed to open remote http s : SWF files? If a local SWF file can be a threat, why not a remote one? He doesn't differentiate between local and remote files. This is plausible. It's an either-all-or-nothing case. So, I now answer my 2nd question too: Both local and remote SWF files can be a threat, and consequently FF should provide an option to allow or not the opening of Flash and Showckwave files.

I believe this solves the case. The "plugins. Edit: Seems like flash is completely broken on firefox 56 on ubuntu so it's not the same issue about local flash files. You can find the full version of the current Firefox release Firefox v57 also blocks javascript and flash used to display a moon module from www. Javascript to display a date works. Iframe gadgets work. I tried adding the url in the script to any setting that offered to white-list websites without success.

Changing plugins. Only accessing it online works. Heck, even using a local home page is awkward - you can only use the standard Home button to load it overwrites your current tab which is really poor UI.

Gesturefly, the only addon for mouse gestures, won't load a local file. An on and on Hi pdqpat, in another thread, someone told me you can run local Flash in Firefox 57 if you turn off the following feature. I really have no idea what else it affects besides local files. Then on the right side, click the More link or Options button for Shockwave Flash.

Uncheck the box for "Block dangerous and intrusive Flash content". Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk. OK,, setting either 'plugins. Even if local. SWF files can then play, all this is a totally unjustifiable and annoying procedure. Anyway, why bothering? It has to be better at something!

That method turns off security protection from flash on web pages, which I don't want. But finding work-arounds for javascript in local pages that accesses web resources is harder. I understand that exposes me to security issues but I'm sure the site is safe. What I need is an " white list " to provide some control.

In the end the moon gadget creator kindly offered a method that loads his images, which is a burden on his server - an unnecessary work-around IMHO. Using media software to view local flv or swf files is fine - I don't care about flash in a local page.

I have a question concerning local. I followed the instructions given earlier in this thread to allow local files:. Now, after completing the procedure to allow local.

When I try to open.
