I need to open many files with the extension swf so I can study for a class and shockwave seems to be able to open this extension. I complete all the steps of installing/downloading but something is wrong because after this shockwave isn't listed as a program and I still cannot open the files. I contacted Apple and they helped with the installation but stated that this is an adobe question.
I guess I have not been very clear. I do not have any flash plug in, it is gone. I removed it when another plug in told to remove it (my mistake). I have uninstalled Flash Player which according to Adobe removes all of it. Then I reinstalled it and still NO flash player and NO flash plug in.
I was being a dunce, I thought I was looking at "plug-ins" but was looking in "add-one" when I looked in plug-ins I found shockwave flash director, made it always active, whet back to make sure it took, didn't find it but found Shockwave Flash which was in "never" status, made a,ways active rebooted and all was well. Then when I when to Adobe and checked to see if Flash player was installed or current, it was there. Hope this helps you understand why I was having such a difficult time
Gnash flash player is a solid replacement for Adobe Flash Player that comes as a standalone desktop player and a web browser plug-in. It supports all Flash-based multimedia formats and serves as a great alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Mac. As a plugin, Gnash is available in many popular browsers. Its version for Windows, however, has not received updates since 2012, so it provides no support for SWF version 10. You can download Gnash here.
