1425566 2016-09-18 04:02:00 Got the Splash Screen for gnash launching it from the Terminal as you suggested Rod, but also got a lot of errors that mean nothing to me. :waughh:

1425567 2016-09-18 05:37:00 I'm guessing that the gui started up OK and then you tried to load the .swf file you wanted to look at (which then produced more errors apparently).

I'm drawing a blank with this one ... maybe someone else has a solution?

1425568 2016-09-18 05:57:00 sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

will install the flash plug-in for Firefox
Chrome has it's own built-in.

1425570 2016-09-18 07:19:00 Sorry that should be:

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

This installs the flash browser plug-in
it does not allow media players to play .swf files though.

but Firefox should play them if you open them with it.

1425571 2016-09-18 19:25:00 Hmmmm, seems it's already installed? :confused:

1425572 2016-09-18 19:55:00 Don’t know if this will work or not, but I have an old, but neat little Windows programme, (see HERE (www.eolsoft.com)) written just for swf files and I’m wondering if it would run with “Wine”?

It was written for Win95 and still works on Win10. :clap

Any thoughts?

:thanks

1425573 2016-09-18 22:02:00 So, did you try opening the file with Firefox? KarameaDave (15222)
1425574 2016-09-18 23:38:00 So, did you try opening the file with Firefox?

Well double clicking the file just produces the errors already reported and opening Firefox first the cursor just turns to a fist when hovered over open file. Clicking or double clicking Open File does nothing.

Must be doing something wrong.

1425575 2016-09-18 23:46:00 Ahh, found, I was probably in wrong place. :blush:

Had a Menu Bar missing.

However, trying to open from the new menu bar produces exactly the same message as double clicking the file. :badpc:
