Eltima SWF & FLV Player is a compact Mac OS flash player, featuring advanced tools such as playlist creation, window zooming, playback quality settings, and Flash security policy options. It is built based on Adobe Flash player and can be downloaded for free.
One of the great features of SWF & FLV Player is that it can browse any web address to discover and save all SWF files it uses. If any SWF file requires external resources, such as opening and playing other SWF or FLV files or loading images, the user will be informed about it and given the option to download all the external resources required.
SWF & FLV Player also allows users to create and manage playlists, enabling users to play FLV and SWF files randomly or one by one, repeat one item or the whole playlist, and save playlists so users can load their favorite movie collection later. Users can even zoom in on the movie to see specific parts, fit to current window size, or restore to original size, and can set the playback quality, which is useful for low-end or heavy-loaded systems.
The PRO version of SWF & FLV Player is available for a small fee and offers users additional functionality including the ability to save the currently played Flash movie no matter whether it is loaded from the web or locally, switch to full-screen viewing mode, and capture the current frame of the movie, producing a series of screenshots out of your favorite FLV or SWF movie.
In summary, SWF & FLV Player is a fantastic software that provides users with a wide range of features, making it a smart and efficient choice for playing SWF and FLV files. The ability to create and manage playlists, customizable playback qualities, and additional functionality in the PRO version make this software a worthwhile investment for anyone looking for an all-in-one player for their Flash movies.
