I have the SWF player installed and I loaded some SWF files onto my unit. I can't find a player anywhere so I tried using internet explorer thinking that maybe the player was a plug-in like in a desktop. I still cannot get the files to play. What am I doing wrong.

Could you explain, or is it simply a matter of saving the file as a html or opening the file on the desktop in IE and then saving it as html. On my casio e200 there is an actual player that simply plays the files. I thought that it would be this simple on a newer system. __________________ Sweet Memories: Siemens SX 66, Sidekick 2, Tungsten T3, Ipaq 5455, Tungsten T2, Casio E200, Casio E125, Palm M505, Palm M500, Handspring Visor Platinum, Handspring Visor Deluxe, Casio E105Current: Backup Hp rz1715

It costs about US$15.00. I've used it before, but haven't gotten around to installing it on my current Pocket PC yet. --Dave __________________ Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.

It's done just like it's done on a desktop flash page. If you don't know how, just find a already done flash file for ppc on the web and look at the source. There should be the flash file and a .html. I'd suggest just using the above mentioned software.
