Well, you need to let us know more specifics for us to be any use at all.
Where did you get this file? If it is a flash plugin you need, which is what I suspect, just download it from Adobe and install. (Of course, what exactly you need to know will also depend on what exactly your system is.)
I got it from the Cache after playing a file on the web through firefox.
To file it is a Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 10 file. Right-clicking and clicking on properties tells me that it is a Shockwave Flash file (application/x-shockwave-flash) file.

is it a "swf" file? ok... You have 3 ways to do it:
I'm not sure I ever knew the original suffix.
For just viewing:
- Click with left button of the mouse, hit "Open With" and Open it with
firefox.
I tried adding a .swf suffix to it. firefox gave me an all-black video. A .wmv suffix had the same affect.
I tried to do an install by googling swf and following links to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?PID=3081440 . I picked yum as my version. Eventually I was told that adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch is already installed.
I'm running Fedora 14.
