If you use a file explorer you can use it to ascociate files with it, for example resco file explorer. You can also use pocket tweak to do this.

Hope this helps,

quoted from the Macromedia site FAQ on the Flash player for PPC 2002...

Quote:

The Flash Player 6 for Pocket PC 2002 is installed into Pocket Internet Explorer and Flash content plays within the browser. The Standalone player plays content outside of the browser and a developer can create full screen application experiences.

Based on this info and what I've seen so far, the player available for download is simply an ActiveX component for displaying .swf content in the PIE browser.

There's more info in the faq http://www.macromedia.com/software/f.../pocketpc/faq/ but it appears that to create non-browser standalone (i.e. - "projectors") Flash content, developers need to pay $$ and license the standalone player (good for 1 year). As these "projectors" are self-running programs, they can then be distributed and viewed on the PPC without the need for a viewing application.

So bottom line, it appears that if your .swf file isn't one of these "projectors", you can only view it in the PIE browser.

If you want to view SWF files on the PPC, this is the utility to do it with...
