I have the studio 8 suite from Macromedia (adobe) installed. Any time i try to open anything with the file extension .swf, .jpg, etc... i get the open with prompt box...however, none of the macromedia applications are an option. if you go to browse and pick the flash player to open .swf files, it reverts back to the open with screen....can anyone help?
