Jason Dunn Executive Editor Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 23,554		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. __________________ Thanks for visiting our forums!

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.

Quote:

<html>
<meta NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="nnSysDev's HTML Generator for PIE Flash">

<body>
<OBJECT id=myFlash
codeBase=http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0
classid=clsid

27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000 width=200 height=200><PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="INSERT_SWF_FILE_NAME_HERE.swf"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"><PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="gray"><PARAM NAME="wmode" VALUE="opaque">
<embed src="INSERT_SWF_FILE_NAME_HERE.swf" name="myFlash" quality="high"
bgcolor="gray" width="230" height="280"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></OBJECT>

</form>
</body>
</html>

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

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 ...
