How to Play SWF Files on Mac?

Overview

SWF is an Adobe Flash file format for delivering multimedia, vector graphics and ActionScript. Adobe has developed Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Integrated Runtime and other plug-ins to enable SWF playback in various web browsers. So users can easily play SWF files on their Mac through a web browser, like Safari, Chrome, etc. But users can not directly play SWF file on a Mac without the web browser, as Mac default player, QuickTime, does not support SWF file natively.
