What algorithm can switch 2 adjecent edges and flip any other edge(s) on the cube? i need it for this puzzle that has parity unless someone knows how to swap 2 adjecent edges on a lan lan dodecahedron?
 
Please make your question clearer.

1. What puzzle?
2. Can you move other pieces than those mentioned?
3. What do you need it for?

i said in my first quote: Rhombic dodecahedron not lanlan brand though i didnt know why i typed that

i dont want any other pieces to move other than the 2 adjacent edges being switched and flipping 1 or more edges

i need it so i can correct the parity on this puzzle (i also mentioned this before)
 
You can't switch just two edges without affecting the permutation of other pieces. The LanLan rhombic dodecahedron has pairs of edges that look the same, so you have to do a 3-cycle where two of the edges in the cycle are the same color.
 
He's saying you can't just switch 2 pieces. You have to switch 2 other pieces that look the same at the same time, or do a 3-cycle using the pieces that look the same.
 
Why not stay in the thread you were in? Did you watch kickflips tutorial? Google "rhombic dodecahedron parity" and click the first video result.

yes i know but i watched that before when i was trying to find a solution to the parity i am trying to find a solution with one algorithm to solve the parity case

Don't worry, CubeExplorer can do these just fine.

I'm generating algorithms now that preserve corner and centre orientation.

Try this, with the two that need to switch in UF and UL:
U2 F2 U M2 U' M2 F2 M2 U M2 U.
Does it work?

YEAH! thanks so much :)
could you generate an alg for me that switches opposite edges? preserving the center orientation and such of course
