This tool plays Flash files and converts them into screensavers, executable files, or images, but suffers from poor execution. The program's merely functional interface features pull-down menus to play, convert, and capture SWF files. Our tests found more problems than solutions with SmartSWF. Capturing Flash files from URLs didn't work and the option for capturing AVI files was oddly disabled. If you have a working SWF file on your PC, SmartSWF can quickly export it into a standalone application, The program also quickly converts each SWF frame into several BMP, JPEG, GIF, or TIFF images. The utility also easily creates screensavers within a couple of minutes. Unlike similar applications, SmartSWF creates only an SCR file, not a full-blown installer package. Nonetheless, if you have Flash movies on your PC that you need converted into executables or a series of images, this freeware is a snap for novices to master and a quick tool for advanced users.

Pros
It's got a nice, easy to follow layout, the flash file played just fine, but...
Cons
I was looking for something that I could play this flash game on, and mute the sound. Cause the music is incredibly annoying and the game can't be paused or saved and it's not that easy to get back to the higher levels. So naturally I might want to leave it running; but I also want to listen to music files and anything else with sound with out this stupid program drowning it out in the background. This program looked like it had accomplished just that, and I was happy. There's a little button in the corner that says mute; but low and behold, it doesn't just mute the program you're running, it mutes the all sound on the computer! What is the point of that?! If I wanted all the sound muted, I'd mute it in the sound options or turn of the speaker! It's just plain stupid. I don't know if there are other useful features and I don't care to know. I got rid of it as soon as I found it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do.
