When I think about Android, I often wonder about how to make Flash Player work on it. You see, there are quite a few browsers out there that already come with Flash Player included. But when it comes to playing a Flash file, like an SWF file, without an internet connection, I find myself feeling a bit lost, not knowing what to do.

SWF is a kind of file made by Adobe Flash. People use it for things like videos, pictures, and interactive stuff.
It all started with a company called FutureWave Programming, then it went to Macromedia.
After that, Adobe took over. SWF files can have animations or interactive things in them. You can see them in web browsers, especially for games, using something called ActionScript.
