Well, the game also has got linux native version which in fact is also Adobe Flash Player binary prepended before swf. Unfortunately I've been having big issues using the native version as it tends to SIGSIGV after 10-15 minutes of gameplay on my workstation. Trying to cut the runtime and use the browser (Firefox in my case with latest Adobe Flash Player runtime installed) to play the game with resulting SWF resulted in sporadic flash plugin crashes also. In the end it turned out that the only reliable way to play the game for me was to use windows version under Wine - doing so (while having Adobe Flash Player GPU acceleration disabled) allowed me to play the game from start till the end without crashes or any other undesired behavior.

I got an update for Muchinarium today, and the dd trick to strip off the run time doesn't seem to work. The resulting swf just crashes my browsers. Did they change the acrobat reader version?

Good suggestion!
Nevertheless, I found a simpler way using this: exe2swf.exe (it's free, here www.northcode.com/blog.php/2007/08/02/Extract-SWF-files-from-Flash-Executables). This tiny utility extracted 4 swf files from my machinarium.exe (I own the GOG version of the game) and the forth of them (named 00000004.swf, 45 kB) is exactly the game I was after.
Now I will play without wine, too! :-)
