This Macromedia player for Pocket PC has been around for a while but I don't think a lot of people utilized it. Basically it's the official "Flash Player" from Macromedia(before they got bought(and tainted) by Adobe) that will play .swf files. It needed to be associated with .swf files before it would open them but I buttoned it up in a convenient .cab file that does that. I think it will only play .swf files made in Flash 6 or older. But if you know Flash you know that you can still kick out some pretty cool/powerful stuff in Flash MX or even 5 for that matter. Not sure if the .cab will work on Smartphone but it should.

I have some tutorial files in Macromedia Flash format into my PC.I copied them into my wizard and tried to run them with flash player but unable to do it.Is there any way how to play those files with my WIzard....
Install Flashlite on your pocket pc. You will be able to view any flash content in it. If that doesn't work, its probably because the tutorials were created in a newer version than Flash Player 7 as Flashlite supports up to flash player 7.
Hi all, i have adobe flash player installed on my ppc, but apparently the file type association is missing. when I create a .html file like that
Code:
<object width="xxx" height="yyy">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="xxx" height="yyy">
</embed>
</object>
everythings fine and the flash file is played (in pocket ie).
Is there an easier way (i.e. a little registry hack) to associate .swf files with the flash player executable and play them directly from e.g. total commander?

Which version of flash are you using? Use Flash Lite 2.1
If you have resco explorer keep the swf file pressed (so the menu comes up) and then click open with and navigate to flash lite 2.1. Make sure the box saying something like "Associate file type with program" is checked.
Hope this helps, Uzzy
thanks for the tip uzzy. ill give resco a try.
about the flash player version: I have "adobe flash player for pocket pc" from the adobe website (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/), shows up as "adobe flash player activex plugin" under installed applications)
whats the difference to flash lite?
is flash lite able to play the same versions of flash as "adobe flash player for pocket pc (the activex plugin)" ?
the adobe website says that "flash player for pocket pc" is only able to play up to flash v7
can "flash lite" play flash v8 and v9? or only special flash lite files that are optimized for ppc?
flash confuses me...
With Flash Lite 2.1 you can play directly SWF files without opening a HTML file with PIE! But if this file works with Flash Lite 2.1, I don't know! You have to try every SWF file separately!

thanks! I just found a page from adobe that compares different versions of flash lite (2.1 and 3.0) and the desktop version of the flash player (v7 sdk)
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/version/
since lite 2.1 also only plays flash v7 or earlier and has browser integration it seems to be similar in features than the flash for pocket pc download.
flash 2.1 seems to be newer than "flash for pocket pc" however...
time to install flash lite 2.1 then
if anyone else has more info on this topic, id be interested to know.

I had adobe flash installed and it did not trigger file association but then I've installed smartFlash v1.0 and now I can play the few swf files I've got (little games and cartoons). Don't know up to which flash version it would cope with.
Get Flash Lite 2.1, it will play .swf direct.
Flash Player 7 will not do that.
I watch a lot of asian movies/shows and all the ones i download are .rmvb files. I tried realone player and it wont allow me to open the file from the memory card. I tried using file explore to manually access it, but it says there's no player to support it. Could this be because the file is too big? Is there any solutions? thanks

Hi,
I have core player 1.3.0, but it wont play .mov files when it suppose to? any idea why it doesn't?
thanks
Core Player does not support this file format
Until there's a codec for HD, you may only convert files to supported formats & play ..
