You'll need a Windows program to change the format to SWF and then play it in firefox inside Linux Giving it a .fla suffix doesn't help firefox play it. Since I got it from firefox's Cache, I don't understand why firefox can't play it. This isn't the first file that's given me this problem. I didn't solve it then either. That's my best idea Hummm can you attach me the Original file so I can figure it out?

That's Good!! Well, you can use Minitube or ClipGrab, Not sure if one of them has support for subtitles... As far as I remember Minitube Doesn't and clipgrab does not install in it's final release under F15... What I would do in your place is Downloading and installing minitube with sudo yum -y install minitube and then I'll use it to download the videos without subtitles, after that, you can download the subtitles track separetly from internet and then in a player such as Smplayer or maybe VLC you can put the subtitles into the video while watching.

Re: how do I play this file?
Well, you need to let us know more specifics for us to be any use at all. Where did you get this file? If it is a flash plugin you need, which is what I suspect, just download it from Adobe and install. (Of course, what exactly you need to know will also depend on what exactly your system is.)
