Question #78524 on totem in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+question/78524

    Status: Open => Answered

Eric Padman proposed the following answer:
A SWF file can contain executable code as well as video and audio and so
can only be played by a Flash player. If you have Adobe's proprietary
Flash plugin installed you can open the SWF file in your browser. If you
have gnash or swfdec-gnome installed you can open it the SWF file by
double clicking on it. Unfortunately. gnash and swfdec can only play a
limited selection of SWF files at the moment because they are still
under heavy development.
