Three ways to help you play swf file on mac and windows


When you get a swf file you will find it is hard to play swf file on mac and windows. What can you do? There are 3 way to help you play swf file.
1. Play with Adobe Flash Player.
SWF stands for Shockwave Flash (or later to be known as small wave format). Swf files are generated typically with adobe flash. Flash used to be owned by Macromedia, which later was adapted and bought by Adobe. So to view swf file you just need to install the Adobe Flash Player on your computer then you can play swf file.
Tip: The Adobe Flash Player is a multimedia and application player originally developed by Macromedia and acquired by Adobe Systems. It plays SWF files, which can be created by Apache Flex, or a number of other Adobe Systems and 3rd party tools. It has support for a scripting language called ActionScript, which can be used to display Flash Video from an SWF file.
2. Play a swf video with the browser.
Right click your .swf file choose "open with". Choose Firefox (provided adobe flash is installed into firefox).
If you don't know if you have adobe flash installed into firefox, just try to play any video from youtube. If you can then it's working. If you don't have firefox you might be able to use another browser like opera, chrome or Internet exploder.
3. Convert swf video to other format.
