Well, so how many of you know about SWF files If you don’t know, lets have a glimpse of it So, what’s a SWF??? SWF is an abbreviation for small web format, an Adobe Flash file format used for multimedia, vector graphics and ActionScript. Well, so how many of you know about SWF files If you don’t know, lets have a glimpse of it So, what’s a SWF??? SWF is an abbreviation for small web format, an Adobe Flash file format used for multimedia, vector graphics and ActionScript. Swf player free download - SWF Converter, Flip Player, VLC Media Player, and many more programs. Mac Media Player. Play various media on your Mac in highest quality possible. So users can easily play SWF files on their Mac through a web browser, like Safari, Chrome, etc. But users can not directly play SWF file on a Mac without the web browser, as Mac default player, QuickTime, does not support SWF file natively. To add an.swf file in PowerPoint 2007, you use the ActiveX control called Shockwave Flash Object and the Adobe Macromedia Flash Player. To play the Flash file, add an ActiveX control to the slide and create a link from it to the Flash file.

I have a *.swf file, and I don't have flash player installed on my Windows XP machine.

Is there any way to play the .swf file using Google Chrome or is there any web app that allows me to play .swf? I don't mind installing any browser plugin, but I do mind installing any desktop application.

Chrome has a built in Flash Player called PepperFlash.Go To chrome://plugins/ and ensure that 'Adobe Flash Player' is Enabled.You can also go to chrome://components/ to ensure that it is updated.If you still have problems go to 'Your Root'Users'Your UserName'AppDataLocalGoogleChromeUser DataPepperFlash'Version Number'Then rename the pepflashplayer.dll to pepflashplayerX.dll.

I had created a file flash.html with this content:

Then opened the file in Chrome.

Otherwise when I was dragging an swf file to Chrome, it was just downloading the file.

Catttdaddy's answer is basically correct, but with Chrome version 57 and later, plugins are deprecated (for more information, see this) and you may need to enable Flash in another way, via Chrome Settings. Without it enabled, the file will be downloaded instead of opened. To enable Flash in Chrome:

Download the HP LaserJet 1100 Printer series Drivers for Windows 95/98/XP/Vista/7. The download link will redirect you to a page where users can select the correct drivers for their operating. Download hp laserjet 1100 printer driver. Download the latest drivers, firmware, and software for your HP LaserJet 1100 Printer series.This is HP’s official website that will help automatically detect and download the correct drivers free of cost for your HP Computing and Printing products for Windows and Mac operating system.

  • Enter the URL chrome://settings/
  • Search for 'Flash'
  • Under Privacy, click 'Content Settings'
  • Under Flash, choose option 'Allow sites to run flash'

You may want to change that back to your original setting for security or other reasons after you've opened the SWF file.

You can play .swf files with Google Chrome. Just drag the file from its current location to your current tab.

For Linux users having this issue I have created the following script as a workaround:

Before proceeding, you must make sure that pepper-flash is installed for Chrome/Chromium, (flashplugin for Firefox) the only way to check (without using the workaround below that is) is to play a flash file on the internet. (or in Firefox, go to about:plugins and see if it has 'Shockwave Flash')

Play Swf Mac

(alternatively compatible with dash)

Open Swf On Mac

To use the script, save it as swftohtml.sh(can be any name, does not have to end in .sh) at any location you desire, then to convert it into a runnable command either make an alias for it in bashrc, or copy it to /usr/bin/. Remember to run chmod +x swftohtml.sh to make it executable.

The script when run with no arguments will look in the current folder for an swf file and make a corresponding html file that can be used to run this swf file in a browser. If there are more than 1 swf files in the folder, it will default to the last one (e.g. if you have filename1.0.swf and filename2.0.swf, it will default to filename2.0.swf)

Alternatively to target a specific swf file, you can enter the filename (or complete path to file) as an argument for the script and it will use that instead. (e.g. swftohtml.sh filename 1.0.swf)

If you want to fully automate the script:

To open swf files automatically in your browser and automate removal of the resulting html file after it has been used, uncomment one of the following lines at the bottom of the script (depending on your browser):

The script will now open the html file in your browser as soon as it has been created. If there is an existing instance of your browser running, it will delete the html file in 20 seconds (giving you ample time to tell the browser to open the file with it's flash plugin). If there is no existing instance of your browser, the file will instead be deleted 20 seconds after the browser is closed.

With this set, you can configure SWF files to open with the script, and the process is now fully automated so that you can open SWF files directly, without ever worrying about creating (or deleting) the html files by hand, in other words, it will behave like it should now. (Keep in mind that there may be a few corner cases where the html file is not deleted though, when this happens you can safely ignore it.)

For Firefox Users:

The Firefox version was a bit trickier, it requires wmctrl and xdotool to be installed. The reason for this is that for firefox to play local swf files this way you need to disable plugins.http_https_only in about:config, the script automatically disables it, opens the flash file, then re-enables it, because this is a setting most people will generally want to keep enabled. The browser needs to be open before the command is run. If you think it is likely your firefox browser will be closed when you run the command, replace the line with this:

It will now give the browser 1 second to launch before running the rest of the script. (May need to be adjusted for slower computers).

The Firefox version of the script will always delete the file after 20 seconds.

I did some rudimentary performance testing and these are my results:

  • Chrome/Chromium Pepper Flash (PPAPI): Fastest
  • Adobe Flash Projector (NPAPI)(Wine): Fast
  • Firefox Flashplugin (NPAPI): Slowest

As for stability, there are corner cases where PPAPI will run into bugs/errors that NPAPI does not, but they are rare.

The performance between Pepper Flash and Flash Projector was rather small (It's noticable, but barely) whereas the performance of the firefox flash plugin was noticably slower than the rest for some reason.

Thus, if playing flash games is the goal, I would recommend using chromium with pepper flash installed over the rest, in general. For other tasks it's unlikely that it will matter.

Unless mistaken, you need the plugin to play SWF files as the SWF requires the actionscript library's to function.
