How to make Adobe Flash Player the default player for .flv, .f4v files?

[Henry_Wilson_969]

I have currently installed from Adobe the following applications:

Adobe Bridge CS6 (64bit)

Adobe Bridge CS6

Adobe Dreamweaver CS6

Adobe Encore CS6

Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS6

Adobe Extension Manager CS6

Adobe Fireworks CS6

Adobe Flash Professional CS6

Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64bit)

Adobe InDesign CS6

Adobe Media Encoder CS6

Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64bit)

Adobe Prelude CS6

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

Adobe SpeedGrade CS6

Adobe Flash Builder is not installed.

Adobe Premiere After Effects is not installed.

I've just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 13, but .flv files and .f4v files are not played by Adobe Flash Player. I've tried to make it default player but i didn't release which file .exe to browse for (by right-clicking and choosing Open with > Choose default program...).

There's a Flash Player Projector (standalone) in the Flash Professional CS6/Players folder, but it's usually outdated.

When browsing to an app to use from the Properties window, go there, but... download this one: Windows Flash Player 13 Projector  and replace the Flash Player that's in that folder.

If you're looking to test Flash files you've authored, then you'll need the Projector, but if you're just looking for a good player for FLV and F4V, then you should use VLC Media Player. http://www.videolan.org/

Just to clarify: the standalone player (Projector) can only play .swf files.
