I want to play a .swf file using a standalone Adobe Flash Player on Trusty. AFAIK I was able to install Adobe's standalone Flash Player under Precise. However, Trusty won 't let me install version 10 (I think that it is 32 bit?) of it without installing ia32-libs package. Since that package no longer exists on Trusty, what do I do?

The Standalone Flash Player for Windows can be used with Wine without issue, and actually is more efficient for Flash applications. Unfortunately, VLC does not provide the intractability with interactive SWF files.
I have written a test result for this on the AppDB for Wine, here. Note that this is on a Trusty system with the Wine PPA.
Simply download the Windows executable (link on the AppDB), and run it to run your .SWF applications. It should work out of the box with Wine with no additional configuration or DLLs needed.

Use vlc, open & play it.
The basics guide: http://www.ehow.com/how_7370013_open-swf-vlc.html
This is about replacing the flash player with vlc in your browser, so vlc should work stand-alone VLC for flash video
