Hi, and welcome to the forum. it's good to "see" and I hope you enjoy your visits.

SWF files are Adobe Flash-based files and, as such, will not play on the iPad. Flash and the iPad don't play well together, as you can see if you view this sticky: http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-faq/54703-flash-ipad.html

The best advice I can give you is to use a computer to convert those files to a type the iPad CAN support, such as MP4 or something similar. Unfortunately, I don't know of any video converters that can do this - but maybe someone else will (or a quick Google search may help).

A free program by Xilisoft can be used to convert .swf to .MP4. Find it on their web site here: http://www.xilisoft.com/video-converter/how-to-convert-swf-to-mp4.html
It's free
