Hi, I downloaded a few swf files and can't open it after trying everything.

I've installed multiple versions of Flash on my computer and tried opening it in all latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and IE. I've downloaded multiple standalone versions of flash but as soon as I browse for the swf file, then press open it just closes the program. I've tried turning my firewall off just incase it could of been that and once again all the issues just repeated.

In Firefox and Chrome I get a white screen and when I right click it says "Movie not loaded". In IE, I get a black screen and when I right click it says "Movie not loaded".

Local SWF files will play with the standalone Flash Player (Projector).  You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will have to make the file association manually.

Try an alternate player such as VLC Media Player.
