SWF () is a defunct Adobe Flash file format that is used for multimedia, vector graphics and ActionScript.
Originating with FutureWave Software, then transferred to Macromedia, and then coming under the control of Adobe, SWF files can contain animations or applets of varying degrees of interactivity and function. They may also occur in programs, commonly browser games, using ActionScript.
