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.

"A pretty good Flash player"
Version: Flash Movie Player 1.5
Pros
-It does what it's meant to do.
-Plays flash files decently, with all the basics of Adobe Flash player
-Has an interesting feature I have yet to see which is that it can make a playlist of flash filesCons
-Very basic in tools and appearance
Summary
For those who work a lot in flash, and need a program to view the flash files, specially with several clips or Scenes as flash puts it, this is a good tool to use. I use it every day when I work on flash, review clips, and the transition between them. It's a very nice flash playing program, the best I've seen!

"Great for viewing SWF files but very basic functions"
Version: Flash Movie Player 1.5
Pros
Great if you simply want to view your flash files hasstle free and fine quality viewing
Cons
Very basic
I wish I could exit full-scren by clicking the mouse instead of having to stretch over to the keyboard (am I lazy? Or does it interfere with my train of thought)Summary
It's great but very simple.
Hey can't complain because it does a good job and it's free without any harassment.
Great for viewing SWF files. -
"Didn't Work"
Version: Flash Movie Player 1.5
Pros
Downloaded, and installed ok
Cons
I wanted to view online video like utube. The online help said I had to cut and paste the url of the video into the player. A bit of a hassle, but that's what I did. The video didn't play. A message came up that said "The data necessary to complete this operation not yet available"
Summary
Thought I'd try this as an alternative to Adobe Flash Player

"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.
