I downloaded some .swf flash games from Facebook using Internet Download Manager downloader putting
the .swf file extension to its list of downloadable files and tried with some swf players to play those games
and they not operate. It only shows me the start screen for 1 second and then stops. One swf player i downloaded is SWF File Player. What should i do?

Have you tried opening the swf file (or drag and dropping it) into your favorite web browser? If flash is installed correctly it should function as normal.

You could also associate .swf files with your favorite browser to make it easier to open them.
