Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Design and Content : .SWF no longer playing since Flash 9 (and Abobe site takeover of Macromedia.com)

[red9]

I have had a .swf working fine for a long time until I recently started getting some complaints from some people that have Flash 9 and also some Firefox users that can't display my menu header which is .swf

Once thing I noticed in my html code it shows:
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"

Since adobe took over the macromedia.com references for the plugin space and codebase are invalid. If you go to macromedia.com it just forwards to adobe.com

Since adobe took over what is the proper location (web path) of the shockwave plugin and codebase on the abobe site ?


Has anyone else had problems lately with .swf flash that had worked for a long time where it recently just stopped working ?

Please reply if you have info.

Thank you for your help

Just in case anyone else has this problem. I found a free tool to quickly recompile the .swf to be Flash 9 compatible. (this corrected my problem)

The above fix tool is for .swf files created with swish software programs.
