right under the line  'View SHM Concept Demo' are links:
FLASH | HTML | GET FLASH

When I click on flash, DownloadManager starts downloading
file:///C|/WINDOWS/TEMP/shmdemo-1.swf
and after download Netscape 4.79 comes up and plays the flash file.

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled

Mozilla is my default browser, and marked as such in the preferences.
Flash Plugin is up to date and seen in Help/About Plug-ins.

I don´t know what happens if you don´t have Mozilla and Netscape4.7
