FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Why "Protect" button is inactive?
  
  There can be several reasons for it:
  

1. The file was protected before. See the file's status to be sure.
2. The file contains errors, therefore protection cannot be performed.
3. The file doesn't contain AS. If there is nothing to protect, "Protect" button will be inactive. However, you still can play this file.
4. The file is of different format. SWF Protector manages only files of SWF format.
   
   

• Why do I fail to play the file?
  
  Make sure you have Flash Player installed on your PC.
  
  
  
• When I try to open a file via Menu – Run Command, I get an error "No such file or directory", and the file receives the status "Not a SWF file".
  
  SWF Protector can handle only local files, therefore it is not protocol aware software. That's why the file's name must not start with "file://".

• When I install SWF Protector, I get an error: "The following libraries were not found on your system: libz.so.1. Please install them and try again."
  
  As Linux distributions differ from one another, we, unfortunately, cannot know exactly the name of the package you need to be installed. But the installer will inform you of the required libraries. For example, if you use Debian GNU/Linux, you can search for the required packages at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages. Note, if you install SWF Protector on 64-bit platforms, you need 64-bit library versions.
