Flash Player

Flash Player is a software tool, developed in Visual Basic, whose sole purpose is to aid individuals in the opening and viewing Flash movies.

This utility is portable, which means that you can easily skip the installation process. As a result, the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer any kind of changes, and it is not going to leave any kind of traces behind after its removal from the drive.

You should also know that if you copy the program files to an external data device, such as a USB flash drive, you make it possible to take Flash Player everywhere with you and run it on any computer you have been granted access t, on the fly.

The interface you come by is plain and minimal, as it only consists of a menu bar and a pane in which to display the uploaded movie. All types of users can find their way around it with great ease, including those with little or no previous experience with computers.

This software app enables you to open SWF videos with the help of a built-in file browser. The “drag and drop” function is not supported, which is considered to be a small design flaw, as it could have helped users manage their files in a more efficient fashion.

There are no playback controls supported, the quality of the video is subject to change, and you can zoom in and out of the image feed with just a click of the button.

To sum up, Flash Player is a pretty decent piece of software when it comes to playing SWF files. It does not put a strain on the computer’s performance, the response time is good and the interface is friendly. Nonetheless, it lacks many options other similar products enclose and it is in dire need of an update.
