| With the Flash Xtra in Director and Authorware
| With the Flash ActiveX control in Microsoft Office and other ActiveX hosts
| As part of a QuickTime movie
| As a stand-alone movie called a projector

The Flash movie format, SWF, is an open standard that is supported by other applications. For more information about Flash file formats, see the Macromedia website.
