Yeah that would be nice... but a lot of these people will not have Flash
player installed, only the browser plug-in, and unless the swf format is
associated with IE it will not open automatically. But truly the biggest
problem is this is for our average users, when you say something like right
click and save as, you have already lost them and then they are calling our
support line. So I really need this to be as simple as possible for them.

The easier way, just have a link to the actual SWF with instructions to
right-click and hit Save As rather than left-clicking.  Then they just
have to double-click on the file to open it up in their default SWF
viewer (usually a web browser or the Flash Player).
