"The Windows version works as an Internet Explorer extension: after installation right-click on any SWF file in Windows Explorer and choose Decompile from context menu. Flare will decompile the swf to a simple text file. You can then open it with your favorite text editor. If Flare encounters problems during decompilation, it will display some warnings. "

edit: installed, rebooted even: nothing!? (win xp home)  
anyone gets this to work?
