Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
* Download a Flash swf file and save it somewhere. Here is one: http://
* With a default, out of the box Ubuntu install, double click that swf file to open it.
* Totem will open with an error dialog saying "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error."
It is evident that Totem does not understand the SWF format, so it should not be making this guarantee. (Note that the example I gave is a very basic example generated by swfc). In its current state, especially with Totem as the _default_ handler for swf files, this feature will frustrate and confuse end users.
