Damn Damn Damn .Buddies there already a player to convert Macromedia SWF files to series 60 format.The converted files can then be played using a free Symbian application.The player application is free but the converter software is really costly.U can download some demo movies from the internet and play them using the Symbian Player.

I don,t remember the exact site location.Search for it on google.
