I got it from the Cache after playing a file on the web through firefox.
To file it is a Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 10 file.
Right-clicking and clicking on properties tells me that it is a
Shockwave Flash file (application/x-shockwave-flash) file.

is it a "swf" file? ok... You have 3 ways to do it:
I'm not sure I ever knew the original suffix.
For just viewing:
3) Click with left button of the mouse, hit "Open With" and Open it with
firefox.
I tried adding a .swf suffix to it.
firefox gave me an all-black video.
A .wmv suffix had the same affect.
I tried to do an install by googling swf and following
links to
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?PID=3081440 .
I picked yum as my version.
Eventually I was told that adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch
is already installed.
I'm running Fedora 14.
