Trouble with .swf

AWBbox · 30 Mar 2008 at 21:14

I can't seem to play swf (flash) files on my PC properly any more. The audio will skip about a lot and the video will slow then speed up again at times during playback. It makes everything pretty much unviewable. I have tried using a media player, a dedicated flash player, both IE and Firefox. Whether it's online or a saved file they all do the same thing! I have tried scrapping all codecs and clearing the registry etc but to no avail. I don't know when this started and I could really use some help. Thanks!

try using (if you haven't already) VLC media player, no problems viewing flash here with it.

It doesn't play any video but the audio seems consistently ok throughout when using vlc.

I use a very very old player called Swiff player which never had any problems with flash files.

That happens to be an old favourite of mine too. It was also the stand alone, dedicated player I mentioned in my first post.

I used to use swiffplayer too!... then I found out MPC-HC v1.1.0 plays .swf file easily and cleanly!...

But swiffplayer was designed to play Shockwave video files!!... so give it a try!!. otherwise grab a copy of SUPER and convert em to summut else!!.. thats what I did before finding swiffplayer (and finding out MPC played em too!!)
