I cant seem to,play an FLV file on Flash player 10 that I downloaded today from the Adobe site.
Ive checked in Control Panel/add remove progs and its installed as Adobe flash Player active x 10 but I cant find it in program file only Adobe reader.
I can watch flash content on the web.

check www.videolan.org for the free VLC player. The player can play a lot of formats.

VLC is great. Plays just about anything under the sun ;o). It's not real pretty, but I'd rather have function over form anyway ;o).

I think you have only the active-x plugin, that is for browser and API calls that use active-x

Adobe Flash Player is a ActiveX plugin for your browser and not a stand alone player.
To view a .flv file that is on your computer you need to…
Use a player that already has the codec for flash (.flv), such as your VLC Player.
Download the codec, so other players will read/play them (such as Windows Media Player).
Best codec packs that have the required codec for .flv are “K-Lite” for Win XP, and “Shark007” for Vista and Win 7.
