Hello,
I downloaded FlashPlayer 11(latest) and installed.
Installation progress bar reached end that seemed to complete.
But FlashPlayer doesn't appear on windows "Start > all programs".
There is no "FlashPlayer" folder under "Program files > Adobe" as well.
Would anybody help?
What is missing or wrong on my installation?
Thanks,
togayan
Ok, now I understand: you need a Flash Player to play local .swf files.
You cannot do that with the browser add-on, you will need the standalone Flash Player (Projector) for this. You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.
I suggest that you place the downloaded player together with the other Flash files
on 32-bit systems: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed

Right.... becuase it ISN'T a program... it's a PLUGIN for your browser. You'll find it in:
Internet Explorer - Tools (the little "gear" icon)>Manage Add-ons
Firefox - Tools>Add-ons - under the Plugins Tab

Can you see the Flash animation at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html ?
If not, is the Shockwave Flash plugin enabled in Firefox?
P.S. I see your Japanese Control Panel, so I say "hello from Gotanda"; that's where I am sitting.

Hi Pat,
Yes, I can see the animation.
I can have shown the version of Flash player
on my browser as well.

That means Flash Player is correctly installed and working.
Do you have any specific problems using it?

Hi,
Most problematic thing is that I cannot tie
".swf" files created via flash creating tool
to FLASH Player.
Would you see the detail of what I witnessing bellow?
Thanks.

I re-downloaded and installed FlashPlayer
via URL link where you mentioned.
Unfortunately, it ends up to be installed as a
plug-in.(see attached screen shot on Control pannel
-> programs and features)
Why?

You didn't read what I wrote.
The download (Projector) from my link is named flashplayer_11_sa.exe
This is the player, not an installer. You need move it to the appropriate folder, as in my earlier post, then make a file association from .swf to flashplayer_11_sa.exe

Hi,
I successfully downloaded *PROJECTOR* and succeeded to associate
.swf file to FLASH player as well.
Thank you for your kind support.
But I would say many users will focus on "Get the lates virsion"
AT FIRST as well as do not watch links bellow because they
are depicted in very small font.
It would be more kind if you emphasize, for instance,
"DO NOT click get the latest....." and "download link for
PROJECTOR is BELLOW the installer link" etc...
Thanks and regards,
