I'm a flash developer (and a Linux noob) and I'd like to be able to run SWF files on Xandros - not on the browser but rather using the standalone player.
I've downloaded the "Download the Linux debugger and standalone players" from here (see link from 12/3/2007):

But I can't make it work (I've tried double-clicking on "flashplayer" as it says in the README but nothing happens)...
Is it possible to use this standalone player on the Xandros?
If not, is there a way to play SWF files (not on the browser)?
Thanks,
EZ

Try this:
In "File Manager", right click on the file and choose "Extract All" from the popup menu. Then double-click on the standalone player to run it.
It may happen that you will needs root privilege to further unpack the file or run the standalone player, then you have to open a terminal and enter this command to obtain a Superuser File Manager:
sudo /usr/bin/XandrosFileManager -caption File\ Manager -maximized

Thanks 
My mistake was that I've unzipped it under windows (using winrar) and for some reason Xandros wouldn't let me run that file.
After unzipping it under Xandros - it all went smooth.

If you unzip it in Windows, you are missing the file permissions of ownership, group, and read/write/exec attributes. Without these, Linux will not give permission to exec the file. This is the good thing in Linux that makes it inherently safe to virus and trojans.
