I found the files (all assets, all SWF files and source code) for an old Multiplayer/MMO game (Ninja Saga) I used to play on Facebook years and years ago.
Is there a way for me to play the game locally since the game used to require an account to play with?
I tried running it with JPEXS Flash decompiler and the game did start up but it would get stuck on a loading screen loop right before the login page. I’m assuming that I’d have to set up a local server or change the code (currently I’m looking into that) but just wanted to ask if there is an easier way to do this.

You may want to look into Flashpoint Infinity. Make sure you choose the Infinity option, as the Ultimate version is a full 500+GB archive of flash/SWF/java games. Flashpoint can get past the sorts of network issues you're encountering by running a local Apache server automatically, without connecting it to the Internet in any way, so there's little risk of the problems that Apache can have; it does this most famously for Miniclip games, but it may work for the game you're looking for.
It's also possible the archive doesn't contain your game, but with the size of their archive, there is a chance!
