Swf files only play after FLash CS5.5 is loaded

Question

I click on a swf file in a folder and for a while it said it was a shockwave file (after I downlaoded and installed Shockwave, I don't know why, had nothing to do I guess).   So I realized that shockwave wasn't the answer and uninstalled it.
Then when I click on a swf file, nothing happens. I've right clicked on it and tried to put an association with it but I don't know where the flash player 11.1.152 resides in orderr to make the association.
I had cs4  D,P, and cs5,D,P,  which I just recently uninstalled becaues adobe told me it was ok to uninstall the Design Premium  since I recently purchased cs5.5 master collection.  I usually don't fool around with files like this but
I must have been bored.  Now I'm not.
t Since I don't know wha t to associate my swf files with, I associated it (file association, I get there by right clicking on a swf file and a small window opens and asks what prorgram it should use to open the swf file). I know it's FLASH but
I don't know where the file resides... in windows? In program files? In program data?? Where??  Once I find it, I will be able to chooes it and make the file association. and I am sure it will work then.   I have an adobe case # with this issue
but it's taking them 2 days now to find an answer. they suggested I come here, so here I am.  PLease assist!! Thanks in advance!  doug

Answer 1

So, I finally figured out how to do it. And here is the code for anyone who is trying to do the same.
First thing first when you are exporting captivate file to flash it creates a "com" folder, you will need that folder to access the rdSoundHandler.
And then simply use the following code to play/pause the swf. This code will not work for swf file created in flash.
This is the answer to problem I found, if anyone find a better way then please keep posted.
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import com.adobe.captivate.flash.rdSoundHandler;
var ldr:Loader=new Loader();
addChild(ldr);
ldr.load(new URLRequest("externalCaptivate.swf"));
playp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playF);
pausep.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pauseF);
function playF(e:Event){
MovieClip(ldr.content).rdcmndResume = 1;
function pauseF(e:Event){
MovieClip(ldr.content).rdcmndPause = 1;
