SWF File Recovery: How to Recover and Repair SWF Files

I recently utilized recovery software to retrieve video and pictures from the SD card of my digital camera. A 1.27GB SWF file was among the files and I have no idea why it was included and am unable to get it to open in an SWF player. Is it damaged or is there another problem? How can I get this SWF file back and open it?
