Maybe in a second release we'd be getting with more files supported.

File Associate does not specifically deal with the AVI file type, it handles it just any other type declared on your phone. So, if you want to associate AVI with some app that can display it, then locate the AVI type in the type list, and assign your application to it. Then test using a file manager. Please report your findings here.
had some .SWF files, still the fring icon (i have fring installed) and when i accesss it, still no program to open.
If the flash type (.swf extension) is assigned to fring, but fring does not display a flash file when clicking on it, then only the programmers of fring can help you. However, you can display local flash files the following way:
- install the Opera Flash Plug-in;
- in File Associate assign the Flash type to Generic viewer;
- click on a local flash file from a file manager and it will be displayed by the Web application.
Maybe in a second release we'd be getting with more files supported.
On one hand, File Associate 1.00 lets you change any and all associations declared on your phone. All are supported. On the other hand, some types might need special treatment (like flash), and that can indeed be added in later versions of FA, but I need your concrete suggestions for doing so.

OK tried it on my P1i - works well.
Tested with speadsheet, change to D2G and works well - shows correct icon and opens .xls file in D2GSheet.
PDF files open in PDF + Standard as I changed them to.
Music files will not open with Walkman3 player although the
icon is shown next to the filename - does show icon and open app if related to LCG Jukebox...

@arvinlad, many thanks for your feedback!

Fine, so changing the XLS and PDF associations work as expected. Expected is that when you select the correct data type for a file extension
and you assign a true viewer to it, then clicking on a file will make the viewer to display the file.
It is very important to realize what a true viewer is. It is an application which is programmed to accept a file name (passed from a file manager) and then display it. An application that can only display files chosen from its own file selector is not a true viewer (like X-plore, FoxIt, LCG Jukebox, PowerMP3, and unfortunately many more).
Music files will not open with Walkman3 player although the icon is shown next to the filename - does show icon and open app if related to LCG Jukebox...
It's not completely clear what you mean here, please describe the details.

i managed to associate the swf file with the mod by swmail. but when i open the swf file, it just open the app and i have to look for the file manually. so, this isnt worth at all. it's not your fault.

you should associate flash files with the generic viewer, like Zed said, and it will open on web...thatīs the only way to do it

Exactly as ares says. By the way, you can't associate a file type with a "mod", only with an application...
One more thing. File Associate 1.10 will come soon, to overcome the "false expire" problem experienced on some phones (reported above in this thread). This is a great occasion to include any additional tweaks in the application that users request. So, please test around and provide meaningful feedback!
