How do I play .swf files?

Sorry, that didn't post right.

Edit /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml file and change

<mime-type type="application/vnd.adobe.flash.movie">

<mime-type type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

and then run

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

and then reinstall flash player.

.swf files can be opened with gnash swf viewer. If you don't have it:

sudo apt-get install gnash

You can use the standalone flashplayer by Adobe : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FlashPlayerStandalone

But you can also open the file in your Internet browser if you have installed flash plugin.
