Try the standalone player on this page (they call it a "projector")
https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplay ... loads.html
[flash_player_sa_linux.x86_64.tar.gz]

Extract the archive and run the flashplayer file.
I extracted the .tar file but I don't know how to run it, or convert it to .xzm, tar2xzm doesn't work/exist. Then I found I could extract the flashplayer inside the .tar file and it does indeed run and plays the .swf files on my hard drive. :shock: :celebrate14: :Yahoo!:

Thank you :worthy: donald.

Hi Donald.

With the newer releases of firefox I'm having more need to use the flashplayer projector to run the .swf files on my harddrive. I've set up a simple script to run it but the terminal window has to stay open while it runs. Is there a bash option to disable that requirement? :%)

Hi Ed
My tiny test script (flash.sh) to run the player:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
(/home/guest/test/flashplayer &)
if you want the player to stay open but the terminal closed,run the script as follows:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~/test$ ./flash.sh && exit

Thank you donald. :beer:

I started with:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

/mnt/sda6/Users/Ed/"My Webpages"/Games/flashplayer > /dev/null 2>&1 &
which works but was leaving the terminal window open. Your changes and approach do indeed work but what I am still looking for is the ability to dbl click on the script in my FM and get the same result. At this point running it from the FM still doesn't work. :(

why not just make a .desktop file for it? hint: use an existing .desktop file as a template..

is it executable? (chmod +x <script>)

I've consider doing that ncmp but would prefer it not being on my desktop. And yes, it is executable. Running it from the FM it does run but also ends in a blink.

Yup. :Yahoo!: I just created the desktop file in my /home/guest folder thus it doesn't show on the Desktop. dul :D Putting one in the /usr/share/applications folder for it to appear in the menu is a clever idea also. :good:

Thank you guys. :friends:

For any others who might stumble upon this this is my .desktop file.

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
# https://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?p=74262#p74262
Name=Games
Comment=Play Adobe Flash .swf files
Exec=/mnt/sda6/Users/Ed/"My Webpages"/Games/flashplayer
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/flash-player-properties.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name[en_US]=Games
StartupNotify=false
Categories=Game;

BTW For specific games flashplayer gamename.swf works also. For example:

Code: Select all

Exec=/mnt/sda6/Users/Ed/"My Webpages"/Games/flashplayer  /mnt/sda6/Users/Ed/"My Webpages"/Games/pacman.swf

Opera with built-in VPN is great.
Sorry, my English is bad.
