Shockwave currently functions as the dominant format for displaying animated vector graphics on the Web, far exceeding
the use of the W3C open standard SVG. It may also be used for programs, commonly games, using Actionscript. ShockWave
flash files in the SWF format, usually have a .swf file extension and may be an object of a web page, strictly played
in a standalone Flash Player, or incorporated into a Projector, a self-executing Flash movie with the .exe extension in
Microsoft Windows or .hqx for Macintosh. Flash Video files have a .flv file extension and are either used from within
.swf files or played through a flv-aware player, such as VLC, or QuickTime and Windows Media Player with external codecs
added. |
