So, I wanna try playing Binding of Isaac on the surface RT when it gets shipped later.

Yes, yes, its a x86 program, but there seems to be an exception with the linux version being bundled with the humble bundle-- its a .swf file.

Is there anyway to play this .swf file, since surface rt supports flash?

Thanx!

Disclaimer: I am not an HTML guru (just a noob actually, googled for this) nor have I tested it with binding of isaac (I did have another swf that worked though on x86 windows).

Open notepad.
Copy and paste this in:
Code: 
<html>
    <head>
        <title>The Binding Of Isaac</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <object width="800" height="600">
        <param name="movie" value="flashmovie.swf">
        <embed src="flashmovie.swf" width="800" height="600">
        </embed>
        </object>
    </body>
</html>
Change flashmovie.swf to match whatever the filename is for the binding of isaac is in both line 7 and line 8.
Save it in the same folder as your binding of isaac swf, any name really as long as it ends in .html so will open in internet explorer.
I dont know what the window size is for binding of isaac off the top of my head, I think it is 800x600 though. If not you may have to adjust the width and height parameters in lines 6 and 8.


Should then play from within internet explorer. It might not, I'm not even sure if it plays nicely being embedded into web pages like that.

Thanks for the reply, but this doesn't work. Odd because I could just play SWF files on regular windows using the browser simply by opening the file through either internet explorer or Chrome.

Just to make sure: are you fully up to date? You need to have a recent enough version of RT (last ~8 months, I think) that it doesn't have the Flash whitelist any more.

I just gave it a try out of curiosity. First, I didn't see any Linux Humble Bundle download that gave me a swf. I just ran the Windows version and pulled the swf from the temp folder the game creates. Using the same HTML code posted above, the swf runs in desktop IE10. It does not,however, run in Metro IE10. But lastly, it's not worth anyone's time trying this, because even at the lowest details, the game runs so slow as to be unplayable.

Wow, something I wrote worked???


I just went on my humble bundle account, set platform to linux. It gave me the option of .tar.gz, .deb and flash. Flash being a swf.

Better way than IE10

Hey,
I just discovered another Option to Play *.SWF- games on winows rt devices:
Switch to Desktop -> Charm Bar -> Systemsettings -> System & Security -> Flash Player
Go to the advance tab & scroll down,
-> Settings for trustworthy Files or something -> add -> add file -> select *.swf accept and Close everything.
To Launch the game, double clicking the file should do the Job.
Guide might be inaccurat, my surface rt is running with german as Default language. You can see where I am too tierd to fight autocorrect, can't you?.
please report,I think your Idea of running Flash games locally is great.
best regards,
kalle.

Hmm don't know anything about playable fps but what wrote in my first post is working i Desktop mode. You can open the *.swf file with IE10 and then Need to Switch to the Desktop and allow ActiveX to start playing. Fullscreen is not working.
Best regards.
