MERRY BOY to get SWF's from pages it will work maybe 2/3 times, is to simply hit control and click and click save page as .. web archive and run it through file juicer , gets most games and movies

JOEL MUELLER I like the marketing idea of it. But then again, opening a whole nother window to play a flash game seems like more clutter unless you open your browser, find the flash game, and then quit your browser when iSwiff launches.

BILL B Appears to work OK, but is redundant as Macromedia provides a free flash player at their website. Hard to find, though. As far as getting flash files from websites, if the website serves the file (i.e., it isn't loaded from another server) try saving the webpage using Camino. There are also websites that provide free downloads of flash files, like dumpalink.com.

BILL B I just checked and Macromedia's flash player is much easier to find now. Here's the link: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=MacOSX

ANONYMOUS In safari, go to the page the flash is on, hit command-option-U and search for .swf Then download that file from either google, wget or whatever.

ANONYMOUS Or use FireFox. Hit page info, click the media tab. Locate the swf and hit download (or whatever it says!)

ANONYMOUS Or (in Safari), open the Activity window, find the file for the page you're viewing, and option-doubleclick on it (if I remember correctly... my iBook's dead at the moment. :( )

GUARDIAN ARCHON Excellent piece of software. It will likely become very useful now that QuickTime 7 no longer plays Shockwave files. Only feature I'd like to see is the ability to stretch the files to fill the screen in full screen mode, if that's possible. Excellent little utility.

RYAN (Not rating because it's probably more accurately classified as a utility than a game.) Freakin awesome. Small, fast, and free. QuickTime Player can be very picky about playing Flash files -- sometimes they open, sometimes not, and when they do open, sometimes sound doesn't sync or something. (I'm guessing QT uses it's own decoder for SWF, instead of using the plugin? Not sure.) iSwiff just uses the Macromedia Flash plugin for running flash files, so they work exactly the same as they would in Safari, except that you can scale them to any size that you want. By right-clicking on the window, you can change some settings with the plugin, like quality and zoom. (Tip: If a file is playing back very jerky, just bump the quality back to Medium or Low. Low is a little nasty, but Medium looks fine.) It also allows you to run the files in full screen mode, so it's great for showing off your H*R collection to a bunch of friends. :) Be sure to check out the link to the Prince of Persia flash game for a great blast from the past.

ANONYMOUS cool that it's free, but what is the difference between this and Macromedia's free Stand alone Player ? (Other than you have dig around for it on their site. )Thanks
