A solution waiting for a better one: 1) Install wine 2) download standalone flashplayer here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html 3) Create a desktop file in /usr/share/applications (see the example file) 4) Set flashplayer as defaut viewer in the properties of a swf file

Indeed, when I clicking on it or when I use the Open with > "Name_of_one_brother" entry of the contextual menu, the browser open a download dialogue box instead of opening the file. The only way to launch the animation is to include it in a HTML file using an EMBED element. I actually have flasplugin-installer 11.2.202.291ubuntu0.13.04.1 installed on my computer and I use Mozilla Firefox 29.0.
