How do I open a swf file on my Mac OS X, version 10.6.8?

[Laura Jackson]

Hi,
I need to open some swf files, that I have on a CD, on my Mac but am having real trouble. I've tried dragging and dropping the file into both Safari and Google Chrome. I've also downloaded iSwiff but can't make that work either. With iSwiff, I can choose to open the swf file with iSwiff, and the CD then whirres but comes up with a blank white screen.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you.

Have you tried dragging the file onto your Desktop before dragging it onto Safari? With the file on your Desktop you could try iSwiff again?
