?! I've got .swf files. I have no idea what .flv files are.
I clearly made a mistake by reading .swf as .flv. No clue why, but there it is, sorry. These formats are related but not identical: see
HERE and
HERE for some details.
That said, apart from
QT 7.7 (NOT 10.x),
VLC (yes, by all means update) and
Elmedia Player, you might also want to try Chrome, which comes with Flash functionality built in. I’m not sure it currently handles .swf files like post-v55 Firefox, but trying cannot hurt and might help. I understand you’re bandwidth limited, but having Chrome can be quite useful. FWIW, I use it for certain web video clips Safari doesn’t like.
