QuickTime/Flash (*.swf) - no sound

QuickTime Pro 7.1.6, Flash Player 9UB

New problem. Everything copacetic until in middle of class, *.swf file embedded in Keynote presentation had no sound. Visual ok, but no sound when playing *.swf files. Even if just open *.swf file in QT, visual ok, sound missing. Same files will play fine in other applications, but not in QT. Everything works on non-Intel computers.

Must have sound as use flash files extensively (embedded in Keynote presentations) for classroom. Please help. Monday morning is coming up quick time.

BTW have installed Perian 1.0 to no avail.

drdillo, aren't .swf files supposed to be played by Flash Player? I don't think they work right in QuickTime.

Problem solved in wee hours last night. Had accidentally deleted <com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist>. Hadn't discovered effect until middle of class, because hadn't rebooted until then.

BTW, only time I use *.swf files is in Keynote. If the "Open with:" section of the Get Info panels is set to have all the flash files open in QT and then, in System Preferences/QT/Advanced, the "Enable Flash" property is checked everything works (now) fine.

Thanks, folks. I'm set for Monday!

Huzzah! Yeah, I try not to delete prefs files, because once I've set something the way I like it, I may forget what does what!
