Whether you want to view a movie or open a game in flash, finding an application that could do just that is a bit more difficult than you’d be tempted to believe.

While most software solutions that could do that are full of complex features, SWF Opener comes to bring simplicity in our lives: it does exactly what its name suggests.

Opening Flash files has never been easier because the application automatically takes control of this format on every Windows version out there.

It comes with a very clean and user friendly interface and although there’s not much to change, it still provides excellent functionality.

What we missed the most was drag and drop support because the application does not allow the user to drag a swf file directly into the main window. Instead, you can always associate this particular format with SFW Opener, or just use the open function inside.

There’s not much to criticize about SWF Opener, but there’s not much to praise either because the entire program has been specifically designed to serve a single purpose.

All in all, SWF Opener is the perfect application if you want to do just that: open Flash files. But in case you’re looking for some extra features, you might have to look somewhere else.
