1) Media Player Classic can play Flashcrap.
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/)
If I ever find any *.swf of any worth, I might try it myself.
2) Disabling Macromedia Flash plugins in Mozilla-based browsers:
a) Type about:plugins
b) Note the name of the Flash DLL.
c) In the app's (browser) plugin directory,
eg., C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxplugins,
delete/hide/rename the DLL.
3) Disabling Macromedia Flash plugins in Mozilla-based browsers:
a) Type opera:plugins
b) Note the name of the Flash DLL.
c) In Opera's plugin directory,
eg., C:Program FilesOperaprogramplugins,
delete/hide/rename the DLL.
4) If you insist on using Macromedia software, at the very least undo
all of the adware/spyware settings that Macromedia has set up for you,
all out of the goodness of their hearts.

And since Macromedia software needs fixed/patched quite often, you
might need to do this every time that you update your player. I
wouldn't know.
