Now that you can export the banners you created with BannerSnack to SWF files, you might want to play them independently of your browser. The first thing you can think of is to download Adobe Flash Player. But since you used BannerSnack, that means you already have the flash player installed. However Adobe Flash Player won’t solve your problem, as it still uses a browser to play SWF files, and you need a player that would play the SWFs independently, right?
Don’t search for “adobe swf player” as you will get this page. Dead end.
However, Adobe has indeed such a SWF player, but, for our confusion (I had to ask my workmates from the flash department where can I find it), it is rather hard to find. It’s called Adobe Flash Player Projector Content Debugger (oh…) or Adobe Standalone Flash Player.
You can download it here:
Adobe Flash Player Projector for Windows
Adobe Flash Player Projector for Macintosh
There you go! Now you can play your SWF files as easily as viewing a GIF file.

This Standalone Player is Good but It does not contains File Association directly with SWF files.

Mr.C.M.PANDYA,
I believe once it is installed, the association takes place automatically. On your computer does it open with another program?

Mike, it’s an ordinary .exe. You just need to double click it and install it as any other program.

the adobe player is a bit rubbish if you need to play movie-type swfs, since it doens’t have a playhead , and the forward/back shortcuts aren’t working on my laptop. hopeless!

Thanks a lot for the link…

I’ve been searching frustratedly all over for just this simple minimal edged player.. Thank-you very much! I knew it had to exist somewhere… You would think Adobe would advertise its link a little more obviously, or the fact it has a player outside of a browser, as the browser plugin takes up a lot of screen real estate.. and for lap top screens way too much.
Thanks again.

I’ve seen a standalone SWF player as a part of Adobe Flash CS3 and up, but never an official one for the general public. Great find, thank you!

I use flash player V10.0 (2009) … under linux.
I’m looking for a new version, because of full screen slow down!
But, will it be done ?
November 11th, 2010 at 4:37 am
thanks bro, it’s works so well as you promised..
For those who have installed but the application did not integrated with your computer.. Just open the application and click & drag the swf file into it..

I am getting this error on my vendors SWF file:
Error: Error #2067: The ExternalInterface is not available in this container. ExternalInterface requires Internet Explorer ActiveX, Firefox, Mozilla 1.7.5 and greater, or other browsers that support NPRuntime.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
at thefilename/onPreInitialize()
Does this mean this SWF can only run inside a Browser?
If so, is there a “wrapper” container to test it standalone?
thanks

Hi,
Many many days have passed, I am looking for standalone flash player. I found some on the internet and they are not good as I was searched.
At last I have found this player useful.
Thanks for sharing.
