CNET Editors' review
The Net has led to a resurgence in animation, largely thanks to Macromedia's Flash format. This nifty program extends the capabilities of Macromedia's own Flash player, allowing you to rewind and fast-forward though Flash-based movies. Supporting both SWF and EXE file formats, it provides the ability to resize and watch videos in full-screen mode, and lets users create playlists and extract movies from the Internet Explorer or Mozilla caches. The features worked well with all the videos we tested. If you're a Flash movie fan, you might want to give this program a try.
Publisher's Description
From Eolsoft:
Flash Movie Player is a standalone player for Shockwave Flash (SWF) animations, based on Macromedia Flash Player plug-in. In addition to all Macromedia Flash Player abilities, it has a lot of extended features, such as playlists, animation rewinding, advanced full screen mode, .exe projectors support, Internet browser cache integration and multilingual interface. Moreover, Flash Movie Player can extract flash movies from .exe projector files and save them in SWF format and has hotkeys for all frequent operations for convenient flash animations watching.
Version 1.5 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"Excellent. Worked."
Version: Flash Movie Player 1.5
Pros
Simply works. This played all the swf files I downloaded.
Audio and video where very clear and loud. The screen is larger seemed clearer than when played through the browser.Cons
If you download a camtasia video, the audio starts but not the video. All you see is the first, static play screen while the audio plays. However once you click it the normal start arrow, it plays well, no problem.
Summary
Excellent.
