.exe flash files

Hi everybody:

There are a lot of files or "programs" that are .exe made with Adobe Flash (used to be Macormedia), sometimes they have a CD made with a main flash .exe that will run automatically.

How can I open those files with my macbook? Which program should I use?

Thanks a lot!!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

You need to install windoze, boot into it, and run them there. OS X can't run windoze executables.

I have OSX so I guess this will not solve my problem... Thank you anyways for the comment.

Is there any option to run those files in my macbook with OSX (Leopard 10.5.2)? Thanks a lot!

If you are looking to play flash files under Leopard:

http://echoone.com/

might help.
I have used Filejuicer to extract the 'swf' file from the original 'exe' file, then used iSwiff to play it. Full details on the above web site from which you can download both programs.

Hope this makes sense!

Thanks for the answer, but...

That will be to play any flash? I guess that will be the same as the flash player you can daownload from the Adobe webpage, right?

My issue is that when I introduce a CD in a PC it does the autorun (as if it were a movie) and plays the flash presentation in a flash player window, is there a way of doing something like that in Mac with Leopard? Because like that I need to play every file in separate ways even if they are linked because the main link is in the .exe file.

Thanks a lot!

I believe any flash can be played, but I think you are correct in that it is not possible to play linked files.

Maybe you could get more technical info from the author at the Echo One web site.
