Totem opens on swf, but cannot play it

[Gerhard Klünger]

Binary package hint: totem

Ubuntu 7.04, german version.
Doubleclicking a *.swf opens totem as player, but errmsg is displayed, that totem encountered a problem and a problemreport should be made. Here it is. The report-mechanism (Totem Hilfe > Fehler melden) that took me to this place here gathered informations about the crash, hopefully they are enclosed here automatically.

The *.swf is located on a windows-share, but other files in the same directory (asf, wmv, mpg, avi) played well.

Since there is no option to attach the *.swf, I will add another follow up.

Gruß, Gerhard

Here is the file: DanceA.swf
an interactive shockwavefile.
(in Windows it works well)

Repeated the action with a local copy of the file on desktop gives errmsg:

"Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.
Internet GStreamer-Fehler: Problem mit der Unterstützungsbibliothek. Bitte schicken Sie einen Fehlerbericht."

For me your file (math anim sesamath (31.7 KiB, application/x-shockwave-flash)) works fine - no problems.

I just discovered this bug while trying to retrieve something very important for my work from a swf.

I really need that data, right now.

Unfortunately firefox is trying to use totem to play swf files EVEN WITH THE TOTEM PLUGINS DISABLED.

What am I supposed to do?
