Accessing local .swf file from the web (html page)

Viewed 1811

Our company uses learning management system to teach employees. We have very slow internet connection in some offices. The courses that have video content do not run at all.

Our courses mainly consist of html page that launches .swf-file that launches a bunch of video files.

We thought about copying .swf-file and all the videos to a network drive in every office. In that case, user would start an .html page > .html page would ask him to show a path to a .swf-file > browser would play all that.

Of cause our method would not work, since local (or network in our case) files cannot be accessed and played from the web.

We use Internet Explorers only. Would it be possible to build an IE extension to make it work? Could you show me an example or give an advice on how to do it?

Important: .sfw-file should work in browser as it should be able to connect to LMS to save progress and publish scores.
