Im trying to view some flash movies that have a .swf extension. How can I do this on OS X. I tried installing shockwave but it requires Classic and I don't have that. Is there anyway to view these movies?

Thanks all.

Click the link below to get the Shockwave player for OS X.

Shockwave Player for OS X

I think that also includes the Flash plug-in but I'm not sure. Quicktime Player can play some Flash movies.

It's for Mac OS X, it doesn't require Classic. I just downloaded it and it worked fine.

Maybe this is your problem...

That was my problem... thanks. I also noticed BEFORE installing I could manually drag the .swf files into Camino or Safari. (But I couldn't select file... open.... and then my .swf file)

Thanks guys!
