I've manually associated swf files to Internet Explorer, but nothing has changed except that they no longer have the default icon for unknown file types. But I'm grateful you took the time to help with this problem, Lar_123.

bok,

If you set the association back to Flash player (a version you're confident will be on most machines), then I think Opus and the IE/FF Browser and the Windows OS will work out launching Player from within the browser or as an application as needed. (that's more of a question than knowing a solution!)

Win XP should be fairly straight-forward. I think Vista OS may let different User Accounts set those association preferences by User. (?)

Others here who are more experienced with could have some suggestions... so check back from time to time.

Thank you one more time, Lar. I've restored the file association for swf files to default. I've tested on almost ten different computers now (with different versions of Windows, Flash and even Opus). I tested the published files and I also installed Opus and created the simplest Flex publications from scratch. The result was the same for every single swf file: input boxes now and then failed to store what you typed correctly. On some runs of the Flash file you get the error sooner and then on others it takes longer to appear, but it's still there.

bok,

Time to send an email to DW Support. Send it from within the Opus program/editor, so that DW gets the stats on your hrdw and sftw.

Include a link to this thread too.

Good luck.

As a matter of fact, I did just what you suggest (email from Opus + link to this thread) on 1st September. Three hours later they sent me a message with a possible solution and a request to let them know if that didn't help. Again three hours later, I informed technical support that the issue hadn't disappeared. And that's the story so far.

Thanks
