Playing swf files offline

I'd like some help on downloading a program or finding a way to be able to play the swf files offline. Can anyone show me how?

If you use IE then download FireFox or google chrome.
FireFox has lost usability since 4. Google Chrome is great and will auto update without asking but normally it doesn't matter since it doesnt break anything.

Now open a new tab in FF or google chrome and click and drag the SWF file over the window. You should see a plus sign and a file as your cursor now, release and now the file is being opened by FF or Chrome. Since both have Flash player installed on them (or should if your planning to use a SWF offline.), you are able to use them to run files from your harddrive.

The odd thing about browsers is the fact you can use it with files on your computer.

you download the RTP files, install them and then play the game.
I believe you can extract the RTP files to folder where the game is stored if you don't want to install them but i can't be sure it will work.
