Flash Animations swf extentions

Forgive me if this has already been posted and addressed. I searched the forum for answers and ended up here because I cannot find what I am looking for.

Problem: Downloaded "free" flash animations from the web and when I click on them in my explorer window, they play just fine. When I transfer them into VS 11+, they not only don't play, but they report only one frame. I used the insert files command which I remember someone here saying that is the way to get .tga files to work, and they do work fine.

Am I missing something that I should be doing? or are these files locked out of VS 11+? Much respect to all replies and thanks for your time.

If you have upgraded the usual free Flash player plug-in from the web that is used with other programs, it appears to interfere with the version which is installed with VS. The solution seems to be to reinstall the latter version...

Unfortunately, I did search the forum before posting, to no avail; however, thank you for replying, I always enjoy your postings.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by reinstalling the flash player that comes with VS. The flash animations that are already in the program work just fine. It is when I attempt to use other .swf extentions, they don't want to play. Yet, they play when I open them in my Explorer window. Curious!!!

Thanks again for your reply!!!
