Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.62 Safari/537.36 Example URL: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/SWF/test.swf Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Navigate to the swf url 2. Chrome attempts to download the file instead of asking for the user to play it back. What is the expected behavior? When navigating to a direct link to a swf file, Chrome should prompt the user for authorization to run it (or run it if the domain was whitelisted on chrome://settings/content/flash ). What went wrong? It's impossible to play back swfs if opened via a direct link. Did this work before? Yes 61 Chrome version: 62.0.3202.62 Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.12.6 Flash Version:

Don't think this is a network issue, since we successfully download the file. Maybe a change with PlzNavigate or downloads?

Actually, could also be a deliberate deprecation.

clamy@ do you think this could be a PlzNavigate issue? johnpallett@, ericde@, is this the expected behavior for flash deprecation?

Correct, per comment #4, this is a deliberate change as of Chrome 55/56. We actively block Flash Player by default, when SWF files are loaded directly there is not UI surface to add activation control to (i.e., normally those would be rendered in the web content area). Best suggestion would be to iframe in swf content. |
