“On the Web, linking to a SWF directly is not a very attractive option. You can’t control⟳ the content around the SWF or the title of the page in the browser title area. It’s also difficult to add⟳ content that’s friendly to search⟳ engines, and it’s impossible to detect⟳ a Flash⟳ version or provide⟳ alternate content for people with special needs. For these reasons, most developers choose⟳ to embed their SWFs in an HTML page for their end⟳ users.”

“A SWF file⟳, or simply “a SWF,” is an efficient, compressed binary file⟳ that can contain⟳ graphics, animation, text, bitmaps, sounds, video, and even arbitrary data. […] When compiling AIR apps, an .air file⟳ is generated, but even this is a package that contains SWFs for its executable ActionScript code.”

“When you run⟳ a SWF using Flash⟳ Player on your desktop, it loads and runs the SWF. Well, of course, why wouldn't it? When you run⟳ a SWF in a browser, this isn't always the case, though. Sometimes, browsers cache SWFs, meaning that they save⟳ a copy⟳ locally and then load⟳ that copy⟳—rather than the online version—the next time you request⟳ it.”
