Gom Player - playing SWF files

Seems like the player is getting shi**ier and shi**ier

They deleted their whole gomlab.forums and they added ads to their new version.

Anyway my problem is that I am used to having gom player work with .swf files, I reinstalled OS few days back and I cant get them to play.

I know I had problem with this last time I reinstalled, but there was some solution on their forums, now they are gone and they have some shi**y empty facebook forums.

anyone knows how to get swf to work?

Press F5 go to Others and check that you have .swf ticked there. Besides that, beats me.

I've always used my browser for opening .swf. I didn't even know that you can play flash files with any video player.

right click the file --> open with ... --> gomplayer.exe --> tick the box for default program?

(not messing with program's pref but windows)

Ok people, I probably found out how to get it done.
You need to install flash player for internet explorer, not just "for the other browsers" version

I also did some regedit but not sure how much it matters, it sure didn't work with only edit, maybe without it it would not work with that IE version flash player..

went here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Lockdown_Zones\0

opened entry:
"1200 REG_DWORD 0x00000003 (3)"

and changed it from "3" to "0"

Gom player used to be pretty good, and i have the same problem playing FLV files. :/ Does anyone know where you can download third party codecs for it?
