To file it is a Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 10 file. Right-clicking and clicking on properties tells me that it is a Shockwave Flash file (application/x-shockwave-flash) file. >> On Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:11:23 -0500 Michael Hennebry >> <hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>> How do I play a >>> Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 10 aka >>> Shockwave Flash file (application/x-shockwave-flash) file. >>> The former came from the file command, the latter from right-clicking. > is it a "swf" file? ok...

I tried adding a .swf suffix to it. firefox gave me an all-black video. A .wmv suffix had the same affect. I tried to do an install by googling swf and following links to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?PID=3081440 . I picked yum as my version. Eventually I was told that adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch is already installed. I'm running Fedora 14. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Pessimist: The glass is half empty.
