Problem playing saved .SWF game files in QuickTime Player
Let's face it... we get bored... and since have a memory key I feel I should be able to save my own games from websites to be able to play them from the key since there's practically every way imaginable to get around a firewall is blocked...
I tried saving the source file (like swf) of a game site of a game... and tried opening with quicktime but it didn't work... do you know of any solutions?

That is the only way I have found myself to come across the problem.

The firewall blocks it, and just saving the .swf file doesn't get everything that something like Quicktime needs.
You don't have to be online, just use Safari, at least for the games I play. Yours may indeed require you to be online to contact the mothership for something, in which case you're SOL.
Want to give us an example URL to go try it ourselves?
I am confused by the subject: A way around school's firewall because I don't understand what you want to get around. If you mean that some ports are blocked, that is simple to get around assuming you have a broadband internet connection and a computer at home.
If you mean that the sites you use to play the games are blocked via a proxy, that is also simple to get around. The easiest way is to use babelfish.altavista.com and translate the page from french or something, as babelfish will load it and the proxy will think you're looking at babelfish instead of playing a game.

In which case, how about a thread title change...
As soon as we have confirmation, I'm on it. I'd rather not change the title based on a bad assumption on my part.
Thanks for the suggestions though, Kick's worked best though.
