title: How to make Windows Flash games run on Linux?
body: <p>I have some educational flash games for Windows (legally bought), that I would like for my daughter to be able to use on her <a href="http://laptop.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OLPC</a>.</p>
  <p>I know that some users have been able to run them under Linux by using wine, but that is really not an option on the OLPC as they need the cd in the drive to run, and the OLPC does not have a cd drive.</p>
  <p>The games are installed from cd, and then run from an exe file. They need the cd to be in the drive while in use.</p>
  <p>I have seen that there are some flash decompilers available, so I was thinking if it might be possible to decompile the the game and then recompile it for Linux?</p>
  <h3>Update</h3>
  <p>After some further research and experimentation, I have gotten a bit closer to running the games.</p>
  <p>It turns out that the exe is a projector (made with Director), and all it does is run a dxr file in a subdirectory. I can open this file directly in the flash player, but it is only the initial menu from which you can choose the various activities.</p>
  <p>The problem is that when you select an activity, you get an error like 'Unable to find file: &quot;\SUBDIR\ACTIVITY&quot;'.</p>
  <p>The subdirs from the activities are on the same level as the subdir with the menu. So I have tried making a <a href="http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14431" rel="nofollow noreferrer">stub movie</a> that just runs the menu, and starting it from the root dir (same as the original projector). I runs the menu just fine, but it still gives the same error for activities.</p>
