An animation in the Flash file format that uses the .SWF extension. Flash files may also contain video, or be only video, but are still distributed as SWF files. The term originally referred to animation files; however, as Flash became popular for video only, the term naturally took on the meaning of a "movie video." See Flash and Flash video.
