Try that, associate .SWF files with your browser of choice, and come back if it doesn't work.

I've had issues getting SWF's to run in any browser but IE. The others seem to like to download it again.  Drag'n'drop to test before associating it. :D |

Thanks. But, how do you open a .swf from a .rar file

http://www.rarlab.com/ But I'm sure you already have WinRAR since you know it's an SWF. If you run it straight from within WinRAR it will extract to a temporary folder and a dialog asking what program to run it in should (eventually) pop up. Or you could extract it. Depends on if you think the SWF will be something you visit repeatedly.  |

I actually think TugZip is loads better. It's free and supports a wide variety of formats.

I personally stand by PowerArchiver.
Its UI could use a ground-up overhaul, and its behavior really should be tweaked to work more naturally with Explorer, but it doesn't have any particularly glaring flaws and it's really quite solid, with support for a remarkable number of formats. The icon graphics also happen to blend in with Windows Vista/7 rather nicely, to boot.
Of course, it's shareware, so you will need to pony up some cash if you want to use it past the trial period without an annoying and time-wasting nag screen.
