Hey all,
Hope this is the right place to post this. My question is: is there a portable app out there that can play .swf files? On my notebook, I can play them using Media Player Classic and the .swf plug-in. But on a portable hard drive on various computers, I can't replicate the experience. VLC can play .flv files, but not .swf. Anybody know of something that can?
Thanks.
not aware of one.
Edit: Try Swiff Player.

either, but I just open the swf file with Firefox, it works for me.

Teen2: Are you being sarcastic, dude?
Teen1: I don't even know anymore.
Yeah, I was going to say that FxP is a great portable Flash player.
but I believe he means Standalone.
BTW, does this happen to anyone else:
When I open a SWF file in FF, it brings up a download dialog. I think it might be either MozOpenDownload or Download Statusbar doing it.

That has only happened to me when I did not have the latest Flash Player or Shockwave Player.

Do you do the right thing even when no one will know you did?

Apparently I have 8,0,24,0 which is not the latest version.

Try that. It's a nice standalone program.

Why don't you use Firefox for it? It's fine for playing flash. And for flv, try FLV Player.
Try Flash Movie Player v 1.4. http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/
Free, but not Open. Natrually portable. No registry entries (unless you associate it with .swf files). One ini file in application folder and 1 exe - that's it. No stray preference files. Less than 350 Kb HD footprint (after UPX compression? - I cannot remember). Playlist, etc.
Invaluable for showing flash movies of G. W Bush to friends on their machine (without starting IE. 
Enjoy.
