SWF File Player for Google Chrome (Lite) in Chrome with O

DESCRIPTION

Render basic SWF animations directly in Chrome using pure JavaScript - no plugins required.

For nearly two decades, animation studios, indie game makers, teachers, and hobbyists all relied on Adobe Flash’s SWF format to deliver lively, vector-based experiences on the web. When official browser support ended in 2021, millions of cartoons, mini-games, interactive lessons, and corporate demos were left stranded—still perfectly intact, but inaccessible to modern users who no longer have a plug-in capable of rendering them. SWF File Player solves that problem with a lightweight, privacy-first browser extension that translates legacy SWF files to HTML5 Canvas on-the-fly.

Flash 6 shape and timeline support – Solid-fill and gradient vectors, static frame sequences, and classic frame-based motion tweens.

Global file support – Works on http, https, and file:// URLs so you can test both online archives and local backups.

Aspect-ratio fidelity – The Canvas inherits the original tag’s width and height attributes or standard 550 × 400 px defaults, ensuring page layout stays intact.

Overlay download button – A small unobtrusive icon in the corner lets viewers save the raw SWF to disk for long-term storage or deeper analysis.

Self-healing DOM observer – On single-page apps like older e-learning portals, SWF File Player re-scans for new embeds after AJAX navigation, so every component loads even if the page never fully reloads.
