SWF files can be opened with a web browser (such as Safari or Firefox, since they use the Flash plugin). You cannot open these files with QuickTime.
If you have a lot of SWF files, and you want them to open with Safari every time, for example, select any SWF file, do Command-I (get info), select Safari in the "Open with" options, and click the "Change All" button.

Hi,kellyfisher, Quicktime supports mov, then you should change flash swf formart to mov. I think it will work. I know iwisoft swf to mov convertercan change flash's format to mov, maybe it helps you.

Converting SWFs to another format is another option, sure.
