Can someone help me in the installation of Flash player on my game computer? It is not connected to the Internet and therefore I need a downloadable version to transfer over on a USB stick. I don't seem to see how to do this on the Adobe Flash download page. Is it possible?

Thanks,
Longstreet

Maulet,
 
Did you rename the "movies" folder in the FoF directory to "nomovies" to save processing resources?
 
That's the exact screen I get when I use "nomovies", and it works fine if I rename back to "movies".
 
Cheers,
MadMike

Try also updating Shockwave, it seems that's necessary for some as well.

Maulet, go to the folder Movies and find the file Intro.swf.  Try opening this file with your Internet browser.  If you have the Flash stuff properly installed, it should play the intro in your browser.

2 things:

1-I can see intro.swf in my browser (firefox 2.0), no problem playing the intro.

2-I haven't folder movies. I have folder video where I have intro.swf, credits.swf,etc, etc ( I have repeated this 3 times [:D] ).

edit: perhaps the problem is that my browser is firefox and not explorer??

Ooops, yes, it is called Video.  Hmmmm -- if it's playing in Firefox (I use Firefox too) then off the top of my head I'm not sure why it's not playing in-game for you.

Perhaps the full path name to the file is too long; what is the full path name of your game directory?

It's very short:

C:\jocs\fof\video, for folder video , and c:\jocs\fof , for normal path where is the exe

Those are very short, not the problem.

What's your operating system?

It may be that you are missing the ActiveX Control somehow, though this should be installed with the regular Flash Player installer.  Please do a file search over your whole harddrive for a file called Flash*.ocx.  I have the file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash8.ocx".  Missing this file (or a similar one) might explain why it plays in Firefox but not in FOF (which uses the ActiveX control).

Or, hmmm, maybe you have a virus-checker-type-program that is disabling ActiveX controls??

I have the file flash.ocx in the same folder that you.

But not flash8, without 8: ...macromed\flash\flash.ocx


My antivirus is nod32 and I haven't marked any option for disable activeX. And my OS is win XP.

Maulet, it seems to be that you don't have a recent enough version of the ActiveX Control for the Flash.  This control should be added with the Flash Player 9 installer.  If you haven't tried re-installing Flash 9, I'd suggest trying that:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

I have re-installed flash player and the white image appears again. Flash adobe web said me that I have installed the last version.

Hmmmm, maybe you don't have the ActiveX stuff installed on your system?  I'm not sure how to search for this to figure out whether that's there or not, and I don't know right now where to get that.
