I found this on Macromedia's site:

Not able to open SWF files directly: The user cannot open SWF files directly. Pocket PC users must copy two files (the SWF and HTML files) to the device for each Macromedia Flash movie they wish to view. To view the Macromedia Flash movie, the user must use the File Explorer or type in the URL for the HTML file. Pocket IE does not have a File > Open command.

I've got a little bit better of an answer for you. I made up this short html code so you can view the movies. I tried it out with a flash file I have and it worked. It's just a quick rough attempt, so play around with the code if you know how. All you have to do is copy this code into notepad click save as and name it whatever.html. Add this html file and the .swf in the same directory and use file explorer and click on the html. Change the YOUR_FILE part to whatever your .swf file name is.

You can't edit html on the pocket pc (at least that I know of) so you need to either keep changing the html and re-sending it to your axim, or have an html for every flash movie.

Hope this code goes through as plain text....
