IS there any way to play .swf files without having to pay for more software>

I thought there was a freeware player, but I've done some searching and can't seem to find it. Sorry. :-( You can create HTML files for each SWF and play it through Pocket Internet Explorer, but that's a pretty painful way of doing it.

Here's what you do to create an html file. Just open up notepad, copy and paste what's quoted below, fill in the necessary parts, and save as an html, then stick it in the same folder as your .swf file. Play by executing the html file.

Make sure you fill in the name in the two places shown. Also, keep in mind that you can change the resolution of the file where it says "width="230" height="280"". Just change the values. Good luck, if you have any more questions ill try and help

You can try the aforementioned suggestions, but if you rather find a player that does it, then PFlashP (http://www.tweaks2k2.com/pflashp.htm) may help you out - although it's not free.

Actually you don't need quite so muchm because the Embed tag is for Netscape and other browsers. IE on PPC needs only the Object tag. Also you had some spare stuff in there (PPC player does not support quality if I remember right) and you had codebase for Flash 4 ...

Thanks. I actually got that code from someone else, so I had no clue. Good observation
