First, it's Adobe Flash now. Macromedia no longer exists.

Second, what's the extension of the file you're trying to open? SWF? or FLA? And what application(s) are you trying to open it in?

Ok, I have no idea what Ifanview is. You'll need a version of Adobe Flash to be open the FLA file. It sounds like you have Flash MX 2004. Is that correct?

I think there will be some confusion about typos; i guess it is irfanview not ifanview. First one is picture viewer and editor, latter I have never heard of. Second, i guess .FLA is probably .FLV as .FLA cannot be viewed by browser.

Okay I'm sorry I forgot about the explorer / internet explorer integration. Since you have flash 8 the .fla file type is recognized. Just publish or export the file to .swf for other programs to work with it.
Ok, my first - well second - and last post in this section.
