When I had an install of 8.2 from FTP, I had to get my own Flash viewer from Shockwave. Now that I have a 9.0 install from DVD, it came with a Flash viewer. However, there's a feature missing; before, I could click on a Flash file I'd downloaded and view it offline. Now, when I try to do that, it launches RealPlayer, which does a poor job with the file (no interactive components or sound, when it works at all.) I can view the Flash files just fine from the original Web site, or from a temporary HTML file (copying and pasting code from the original framing site, with adjustments for the local file), but I can't just click and go. I'm guessing I'm missing a standalone Flash viewer. Is this something I can install through YaST, or should I go to the Shockwave web site and get their package?

Any Linux web browser (eg. Konq, Opera, Mozilla, etc) with Flash plug-in (which I assume you have) will allow you to view swf files off-line. Just open your browser and go File -> Open or "Open with..." from your file manager. HTH Dave

Ah, I found the problem; there was an association of .rf and .swf files with RealPlayer. (Dunno what it's for.) I removed the .swf association, and all was peachy. Thanks!
