Author Topic: How To Properly Play .swf Games? *LOCKED*  (Read 2360 times)

Hay dere. (Hay is for horses, I know)

So, I've been downloading .swf (flash) games lately. I try to play them in Mozilla, but it can be slow. I've tried Realplayer and Flash Offliner. They don't work. Mozilla works 99.9% of the time. The other 00.1% is just leaked games (like Gemcraft Chapter 0) or whatever.  I It's just slow. So, I was wondering how to properly play the games at full speed. Quality changing won't help. Also, I just download them with Mozilla.

So, what is a good program to use?

Well, I use Chrome. But I don't know if that will fix it

Okay. I'll get Chrome.

Is it my ram? I have 785mb :(

My parents have 1gb, then they just bought a 2gb ram stick yesterday. That made me mad.

Get a real CDROM game.
Owait... No one uses dem anymoar.

The problem is that you're playing the game all stretched out. Play it in it's intended size, and I'm sure it'll run smoothly.


Okay. I've had some games run in a custom format where it's a Firefox document with the .swf included.

indeed.
either resize the window or use HTML and make a page with the resizing, save that to yo computer, and play it from that .HTML file
for clarifications

here is an example of resized .SWF files, using oh year as an example off of my website
http://tabsfilesandstuff.webs.com/i'm_ALIVE.html
the code used here is
Code: [Select]
      <object width="512" height="384">
        <param name="movie" value="http://tabsfilesandstuff.webs.com/ab92d03bbcb8a2094f40450b7f9ab81c.swf">
        <embed src="http://tabsfilesandstuff.webs.com/ab92d03bbcb8a2094f40450b7f9ab81c.swf" width="512" height="384" allowScriptAccess="never"></embed>
      </object> <br>
alternatively, unresized, which is what you're using, you can see here the mild slowdown (though this is a really easy flash, so it really shouldn't even be present at all :T)

this is the raw file, so there is no html at work here.

tl;dr
make an html file simply with
Code: [Select]
      <object width="yyyy" height="yyyy">
        <param name="movie" value="xxxx">
        <embed src="xxxx" width="yyyy" height="yyyy" allowScriptAccess="never"></embed>
      </object> <br>
with xxxx being the file path to the raw file you have saved, or even the online file (though you obviously need internet access for that), and yyyy being the dimensions (either guess, go with what you find comfortable, or check the source code of the page you got it from)

i guess you don't really need
Code: [Select]
allowScriptAccess="never"either but whatever

Okay. I got this to work. Thanks guys! :)
