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.)

is it a "swf" file? ok... You have 3 ways to do it:

For editing:

1) Use "Vectorian Giotto" - http://vectorian.com/giotto/ under Wine (You need the Microsoft Fonts Package installed) -  http://physics.bgu.ac.il/DOWNLOADS/RPMs/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm

2) Use any version of Adobe/Macromedia Flash under a VM in VirtualBox

For just viewing:

3) Click with left button of the mouse, hit "Open With" and Open it with firefox.
