Flash Formats Three main types of files associated with Adobe Flash –SWF (Shockwave Flash File) This is the published version of a Flash animation. This is the actual file that is embedded into the Web Page and will be played by the clients’ Adobe Flash Player. –FLA (Flash Authoring File) This is the largest in file size and contains the raw editing data of your Flash project. When you are satisfied with your FLA file, you publish it into a SWF file. –FLV (Flash Video File) Usually Embedded inside a SWF File played through a flv aware player, such as VLC, or QuickTime and Windows Media Player with external codecs added.
