Why aren't SWF files playing on my computer?
I downloaded a SWF file and my computer did not recognize it. I then downloaded Adobe Flash Player and installed it and the file is still not playing It's not like the file is broken, it's just my computer does not recognize the file extension and does not know what program to use.

Usually Adobe Flash Player plays stream Internet video. You need to download other flash player. I use for it Geovid Flash Player to watch swf files and simple flash games.
