To play a .swf you can use the standalone Flash Player.
A projector is a different thing, it's a special .exe version of the .swf with the Flash Player bundled at compile time. So the concept of using the latest projector to view an old .swf doesn't make sense.
Sorry for the pedantry but that's the third time I've read it used incorrectly on this thread.
