Adobe Flash Player 10 Administration Guide

Tags:
web browsers

Overview Flash Player is the software that allows computers to play multimedia content contained in SWF (pronounced "Swiff ") files, which are the main type of file used by Flash Player. This content can be created by Adobe Flash Professional, Adobe Flex Builder, or other tools that output the SWF file format. SWF content can range from simple animations to online advertisements to complete applications that communicate over the Internet. Flash Player is available in multiple forms. In its most popular form, it is embedded in a web browser as a plug-in or an ActiveX control.
