When I check the internet to see which program should open that type of files it says Adobe Flash Player, which I already have installed.
Stemin Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 .swf is typically a file that is played with the flash player. It can be a game, a movie, etc. Usually low res stuff, like joe cartoons. You would probably need a program that creates flash games to edit it, not a flash player. I think the Adobe Premier kit I have would probably have a program to open it, but I wouldn't have a clue how to use it.

I apologize about bumping the thread but I just wasn't getting an answer from anyone and constantly watching the thread fall back to pages 2 and 3 where I knew it wouldn't get replied. As it stands I think I'll have to buy flash (or similar) if I'm to use this method. It's a squeeze since Adobe flash costs so much money. I may just have to stay without a custom map marker. Thanks anyway. Edited June 17, 2012 by samv96UK
steve40 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 IIRC, the SkyUI mod has an "extras" folder with a bunch of custom icons and map markers in it? Not sure how to make use of them though.
