Flash animations unreadable

I have never used flash animations in my videos so far, but I thought I'd try it out.
When I try to open any of the pre-installed ones in VS11.5 I get the message "The content of these files is unreadable".
These are .swf files direct from the VS samples file, not imported ones.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Sue,
Here's a link to posting in this forum that helped me when my ULead / Corel SW started to act up with swf files...

The file that is missing is, "flash.ocx". It seems that when updateing your flash player some times this file will get replaced. The link above should help you locate a copy of the missing file as well as tell you specifically where it needs to be placed in order to make VSP 11.5 read / play swf files. PM me if you have trouble locating the "flash.ocx" file. I'll e-mail it to you.

Thanks a lot.
I downloaded the flash.oxc file and the animations are working perfectly.
