    cant open *.swf in pc.

      It dint cross my mind, when i  installed win 7 ultimate x86 2 weeks ago and installed adobe cs4 master  suite, to check whether i can open swf files or not. I just like always,  downloaded ADM, and installed Flash player 10.1. The web videos were  all working fine, except on facebook, where the videos and uploader  keeps prompting me to get latest flash player EVEN AFTER I INSTALLED  10.1 version thrice. But i dint care abt it since i dont watch videos on  facebook anyways.

       

      The issue is about swf files.  Everything regarding to flash, even flash animations, work perfectly  well on the internet, whether it be firefox or any other, but today i  was designing a photo gallery for my portfolio, and pressed test movie  to see if it was looking good. Everything worked in the test movie.

      But  when i open, some tutorial included swf's or my own created swf's, the  famous error comes which states"WINDOWS CANT OPEN THIS FILE. TO OPEN  THIS KIND OF FILE WINDOWS NEED TO KNOW WHAT PROGRAM TO USE TO OPEN IT".  When i click "select program from installed programs", i cant find Flash  Player anywhere on my pc.Its not even in control panel uninstall programs. Now wtf am i supposed to do if my swf's cant  open (not on the internet) but on my pc. Please tell me. don't suggest  uninstalling cs4 or flash player and reinstalling, because i already did  that countless times. Should i get olders flash player versions?

       

      Please don't tell me i will have to reinstall windows for i then i will have to reinstall so much.
