How to open a .SWF file? SWF Player - a simple player for playing SWF Player Programs for working with swf files.

Most users computer systems, one way or another, came across Flash animation. Many cartoons, banners on websites, or even simple Internet games are made in this format. But what are SWF files and how are they created or edited if some changes need to be made to the finished project? This and much more will be discussed further.

What are SWF files?

Few people think about what a SWF animation file actually is, considering it an ordinary video.

In fact, the files themselves are compiled derivatives of the original FLA format, which in turn is a project in which the original structure can be seen and modified. Naturally, this requires some kind of SWF file editor. But which one? Today, so many programs have been created for creating and editing Flash animation that it is quite easy to get confused in them.

How to open a SWF file?

We'll get back to the editors a little later. For now, let's look at how to open a SWF file in the simplest situation. There are at least two options: either use some kind of software player that supports this format(KMPlayer), or start playback in a web browser.

In the second case, for correct playback, a prerequisite is the presence of an installed plugin Flash Player from Adobe or its equivalent in the form of a Macromedia Flash extension, which is, in general, the same thing.

The principle of editing a finished Flash video

Now a few words about how editing is carried out in general terms finished project. An editor for SWF projects of the most primitive type will not be able to simply open a file, since the finished SWF file, as already mentioned, is compiled and contains a minimum of information about the initial structure.

Thus, before using the simplest SWF file editor, the finished file must first be converted, so to speak, into readable form. In other words, it needs to be decompiled into its original FLA form. For this purpose, special utilities are used, which will be discussed separately.

The best editors for creating animation from scratch

Nevertheless, to create a video (and not edit it) at the initial stage, the most simple applications, and entire professional-level software packages.

It will not be possible to describe them all, but among the programs designed for this purpose, several of the most popular can be identified:

• Alligator Flash Designer.
• SWiSH Max.
• Adobe Flash Professional.
• Corel R.A.V.E.
• Sony Vegas Pro.

Alligator Flash Designer

This SWF editor in Russian is the simplest of all those presented below and is intended mainly for quickly creating animated banners that will be used on websites on the Internet.

There are not so many tools at the disposal of a novice web designer, however, there are about one hundred and thirty different effects, the ability to create animated text, drawings or insert sound. The interface is extremely simple and clear, so this application is very well suited for mastering the basics of creating this type of animation.

SWiSH Max

This animation file editor is very similar to the previous utility, although it looks a little more complex for a beginner.

With its help you can create more professional works of good quality. Any user can figure it out thanks to the fact that the application itself includes video tutorials that explain the basics of creating animated videos.

Adobe Flash Professional

The Adobe Flash SWF file editor is a professional-level software package that not everyone can master the first time.

He has so many tools in his arsenal that, according to many professional web designers and animators, you can use them to realize any fantasy. By the way, if you look at the world rankings software this direction, namely Adobe applications Flash CS and CC series are the undisputed leaders.

Corel R.A.V.E.

Here we have another professional SWF editor with capabilities comparable to the previous package from Adobe.

The most interesting thing is the ability to draw two-dimensional objects, determine their movement along a predetermined path, snap to the specified path, create a double of the animated object to change only the size, color or location, after which the program automatically performs the necessary transformations and animates the image. Naturally, this is not all that this application is capable of. You can study it and admire more and more new possibilities for a very long time.

Sony Vegas Pro

This video processing package certainly needs no introduction. Even those who have never worked with this type of multimedia know about it. Of course, this is not a SWF editor as such, but it does have tools for creating animation, and they are very worthy of attention.

The program allows you to create and edit animation videos (in this case the emphasis is on them) using more than 200 effects, editing can be done based on 8-bit mode, and at the finalization stage you can switch to 32-bit to improve quality. You can also apply color filters to eliminate differences in different fragments, set the storyboard frequency at 30 fps or higher, and also set a variety of image aspect ratios, including even transformations and transitions between them (4:3, 16:9, 16: 10), etc. In general, there are enough tools.

Additional utilities for working with Flash

Speaking about creating and editing animated videos, we cannot ignore some additional utilities that may be useful in your work. In particular, this concerns the conversion of the final SWF file to the original FLA project format through decompilation (formatting the code), as well as some additional tools used to improve image quality and reduce size final file without loss of quality.

Among the most necessary programs The following can be noted:

• Flash Decompiler Trillix.
• Sothink SWF Decompiler.
• Flash Optimizer.
• Sparkle SWF Optimizer.

Flash Decompiler Trillix

A novice user will need this program to convert a SWF file to FLA format so that the project can be opened even in the most simple editor and make the necessary changes to it.

Essentially, this is an advanced converter with editor capabilities in which changes can be made on the fly. You can also use it to perform batch conversions. And all this is done without the mandatory installation of Adobe and Macromedia plugins.

Sothink SWF Decompiler

This program is also a decompiler-editor, albeit a paid one. Its capabilities are very interesting. It is aimed at quickly creating or editing banners, videos and even Flash games.

For beginners, the application provides a special “Wizard” based on the choice of the type and structure of the future project from the available templates. In addition, you can work with the source code, apply all kinds of filters, effects, or create vector images in a special WYSIWYG environment.

Flash Optimizer and Sparkle SWF Optimizer

These two small utilities, as the name suggests, are some kind of optimizers that allow you to reduce the size of the finished SWF file to save space without losing quality. They will be especially useful to all those who post their work on the Internet or create banners and online games in Flash format.

As stated on the official websites of the developers, these utilities allow you to perform compression and reduce the size of the original object by as much as 70%. They have several types of optimization using automatic conversion after setting the necessary parameters.

What to use?

Finally, the most important question: “What to choose from all this?” We think that novice animators and web designers should start with the simplest utilities. For those who have at least a little knowledge of creating and editing SWF videos, professional utilities will undoubtedly be suitable. Here the choice is up to the user. However, if you wish and study reference information, which is available in most of the applications presented, you can master working with them very simply. But which editor is better? The palm rightfully belongs to the developments of Adobe, although other editors and decompilers should not be discounted.

A free program for creating flash videos of almost any degree of complexity! Includes almost everything necessary tools for everyday work with flash and can be used by both beginners and professionals. The main difference and advantage of this program is its support for ActionScript 2.0, without which it is simply impossible to imagine creating professional Flash content.

It seems that Dima Bilan is right when he says that the impossible is possible :). Just recently, web developers had to either pirate or pay quite a lot of money for the opportunity to work with Flash animation. And now, finally, the hour has come when a third full-fledged option has appeared - to use a free flash editor.

Previously, there was already one similar program on our site, but its disadvantage was that it was somewhat outdated, had a limited set of tools, and lacked support for the ActionScript programming language, which is so necessary for creating somewhat functional websites, games, etc.

Today I will introduce you to a completely modern flash editor, which can compete almost on an equal footing with the famous Adobe Flash - Vectorian Giotto.

Comparison of Vectorian Giotto with a paid analogue

As you can see, the developers of Vectorian Giotto did their best and tried to fit into their program the maximum possible set of functions similar to Adobe Flash. In addition, most of the hotkeys are also the same, so those who are used to working with the Adobe editor will not have much difficulty switching to the free Vectorian Giotto platform!

Well, and for “dessert” in free editor There is also something that the “big brother” sometimes lacks - a built-in library of animation effects that will appeal especially to those who create flash banners.

Preparing for work

To start working with Vectorian Giotto, we will need to download the archive with the installer, which, by the way, weighs only 8 megabytes! When the archive is downloaded, open it and run the file VectorianGiotto.exe.

Despite the fact that the installation (and the program itself, unfortunately :)) is in English, it should not cause any difficulties, since it is not necessary to change anything in the default settings. Just click the “Next” button several times and wait for the installation process to complete;).

First acquaintance with the interface

Upon completion of the installation, if we did not change anything in standard settings, the Vectorian Giotto working window will appear in full screen:

As I already said, the program interface is in English, so in order to avoid misunderstandings and misunderstandings when performing further actions described in the article, I would like to introduce some conceptual apparatus :). Let's start, as usual, from top to bottom and left to right.

Menu bar. This is the panel on which all the menus of the Vectorian Giotto program are located. When working with animation, you may need such sections as “File” (for saving and exporting your animation to SWF), “View” (for setting the workspace display parameters), “Modify” (for managing the parameters of the current document and working with the library effects) and “Window” (for customizing the displayed modules and program panels).

Main toolbar. Here are buttons for controlling project actions and an animation playback panel.

Drawing panel (occupies the entire left side of the program window). Here you will find all the necessary tools for creating any desired objects of your animation, as well as buttons that allow you to configure the parameters of the necessary tools.

Storyboard (or timeline). Allows you to manage frame cells and created layers.

Color control panel. With its help, you can quickly change the color of previously created shapes. It is also used to select the type of fill for your animation objects (solid, gradient, etc.).

Work area. It is a virtual sheet of “paper” designed for drawing your animations :).

ActionScript editor. If you need to create not simple banners, but something more complex, including buttons and all kinds of interactive objects, then you cannot do without a script editor.

Clip structure panel. Displays all the shapes that are “in the frame” and allows you to quickly switch between them and manage their sequence.

Properties panel. Each object in flash has certain properties. This panel is used to manage them.

Transformation panel. Allows you to quickly change the size and position of the selected animation element.

Library of elements. Represents a list of created or imported objects that can be (and are repeatedly!) inserted into an animation.

A situation often arises when it is necessary to make changes to a finished “creation” without having the original FLA file. This can be anything: changing text, pictures, sounds, etc., and in some cases it is not at all necessary to resort to exactly the tools with which the file was created. The main difficulty is that the SWF file is already a compiled FLA file. If the latter is present, the user has the opportunity to see the entire file structure, while SWF contains a minimum of information. Once compiled, the SWF file can be imported into Flash, but without additional software it is unlikely that it will be possible to restore its structure. Accordingly, to make changes you need to decompile the SWF file.

This situation has given rise to a lot of programs, such as: Sothink SWF Decompiler, Eltima Flash Decompiler Trillix, Power Flash Decompiler and a great many other utilities. In this article we will give examples and parameters of some decompilers, and also consider the decompilation process itself using the example of the Sothink SWF Decompiler program.

Sothink SWF Decompiler is a program for capturing and decompiling a SWF file into FLA, as well as extracting various resources from it. The program allows you to extract images, fonts, sounds, etc. from ready-made SWF files and is considered one of the best programs for decompilation.

For a person familiar with such a system, it will not be difficult to “disassemble” and then “reassemble” a SWF file using a program. For amateurs, this can be a very difficult task. So, what does the decompilation process look like in Sothink SWF Decompiler?

Let's start with the interface. Actually, the main program window looks like this:

Cost: $79.99

Possibilities:

• Searchable Action Script source code - Convert SWF to FLA and FLEX
• Extracting SWF from EXE
• Preview and export file resources

• View detailed information about each object from the flash movie

What else would you like to add about flash decompilers? At first glance, working with them is quite simple, and to a certain extent it is so. However, difficulties may arise when decompiling SWF files, since when using such programs, errors may occur in the code that will have to be corrected manually. And for a user unfamiliar with the Action Script language, this can be a very difficult task.

SWF is a special format designed specifically for web applications and use in the Internet environment. This is a format for storing various types of animation, graphic content, and even short video and small audio files.

The abbreviation "swf" originally stood for "ShockWave Format". Now, to avoid confusion with other Flash applications, this format is called "Small Web Format".

Sorry, open this file by using standard means Windows image viewing is not possible. Here the situation is very similar to the “GIF” format, which, although displayed as an image, cannot start animation. So how can you view these kinds of files?

Browsers

The first and easiest way, which does not require additional installation any funds - open required file in any . Almost everything modern means for Internet surfing, they provide support for Flash technology.

Running the swf file using a browser is simple:

1. Double click on the required swf file.

   

2. If there is no suitable tool to launch, a window will open indicating that the item could not be opened. You need to click on the option to select a program from those available on your computer and confirm the action.

   

3. The system will display a software selection window. Here you can select a tool from among the suggested ones or expand the list of “Other programs”.
4. In case of absence required browser Among the applications offered by the system, you can find the one you need manually. Click “Browse” to find a user-friendly browser in your computer files.

   

5. The system will prompt you to select the browser directory on your computer using a special window. Here you need to get to the location of a specific browser in memory. Browser folders on most devices are located on local disk“C:” in a special system section of program files (“Program Files”).
6. We find here the folder of the software we need, and in its main part we look for a file with the name of the application and the extension “.exe”. Double click on this file, the system will return to the previous window, in which we click “OK”.

   

Ready! The browser will open our file, and from now on all swf files will be associated with this program.

Adobe Flash Player

The second available and obvious option is to use software products from Adobe, since this company is currently the main developer of any software with Flash technology. The most common product that everyone has is.

So to open this type files in this program you need:

Ready! The file will open and be played by Flash Player.

Note! One more quick way– select the required file and right-click. In the context submenu, select the “Open with” sub-item, and select Flash Player from it.

Using a media player

Any video player for Windows is suitable for this method - the most popular KMPlayer, the widespread VLC media player, or the slightly less well-known GOM player. However, the list of suitable programs is quite large.

Let's look at the example of the KM player. The sequence of actions is simple:

Note! You can also run the file in the player using context menu. However, this will only work if the program is present in this submenu.
