Flash Grabber & Viewer for Android
ATTENTION: First install Adobe Flash. You may not find Adobe Flash Player on Google Play because adobe decided to ditch the whole flash thing back in october 2012, so you may have to google about it and find an alternative source for Adobe flash player apk.
Now for the story about this App:
I developed this little utility for myself. As a friend suggested to me, it might prove useful for you too:
Flash Grabber & Viewer allows you to download flash files (games, presentations, tutorials, etc. in ".swf" flash format) from any webpage over the internet and store it locally for your untethered flash viewing and playing pleasure.
The whole process is streamlined and automated, and -hopefully- bug free, although be warned: this is the first version :)
Usage example:
PROBLEM: You like to play a flash game but you hate to navigate with your Android into it's website and then wait for the flash game to download each time you want to play.
SOLUTION: You feed the game's URL (whatever you type in your browser to start the game) and FLASH Grabber & Viewer will try to download and place it in your device. From now on, you will have all your flash games and flash applications available to play with the flash viewer component of this application, even without internet access.
FEATURES:
The Flash Grabber component will check for internet access before trying to grab a flash file and if there is no Internet, it will warn you and ask you to activate your network access.
When analyzing a web URL in search of flash files, the Flash Grabber component might find just one flash file and thus automatically download it and return you into the main flash viewer files list (with the just downloaded file added to it).
If the analyzed webpage mentions inside its code more than one flash file, then Flash Grabber will list you all those found flash files and let you select which one should it download.
Flash Grabber & Viewer will let you edit the local filename of any flash you have stored locally: You only need to long-click over it in the main flash files list to open the Flash properties window.
Flash Grabber & Viewer will also let you erase any or all flash files.
You may start the Flash Viewer component by clicking on any flash name available in the main flash list.
The Flash Grabber component will detect whenever the running flash file attempts to redirect your interfase into an external website, and ask you if you want to allow or deny such action.
Please leave a nice review and / or score, if you find this application useful.
Black screen since i try to open grabed swf damn you!
i found the swf but when i click on it nothing happens just a black screen
On no device have I been able to play swf files with this program, but it is a very intuitive way to download flash files. I just find the file directory in flashfox and play them that way.
Why is the screen all black?
First, download the HTML Parser from Google play 1.) Now go to the game you want to download. 2.) Copy the URL. 3.) Open HTML Parser and click new template. 4.)Under Template name put whatever. And Paste the game URL under website and save 5.) Click the template then search swf 6.) Find a link that has .swf at the end and says "src" or something like that. copy it. 7.) Paste link in swf grabber and it should download. Also I play my games in SWF Player by issess

Half works I get a flash game but when I click on it to play its just a black screen PlS FIX
Can grab games, but is worthless at playing them.
why are people so dumb and can not make. a good app anymore . this is the reason I refuse to spend a dime on Google play store they let garbage like this on here. I have a power full tablet. I terid 4 deffeint swf file links. refused to notice them kept saying have to put http:// over and over I know I was putting e address in right. I'd avoid this .
Terribly slow when trying to play the games, I require 3-4 clicks per action I do. Simply unacceptable.

Works good
Freak ...don't download...slowed your phone.
All I see is a blank screen? ???
Awesome
Best app ever!
Poor. Waste of time
Good
very............................ bad and suck
Works wonders when I get hooked on a game. Would help if you added a longpress feature that shows Flashgrabber as an option--no more copy and paste. A downloadremaining bar would also be nice. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the update.
I love flash, and who wouldn't like flash when you're w/o WiFi? This app works good, but I'm guessing that it doesn't support HC because the menus are slightly garbled. It would be nice to add the option too select which folder to save to, and maybe more notification regarding download completion. I would be so happy if you would update this, and just clean it up, polish it, and maybe even add more features. Opera has the option to grab links through it's Share Link feature. If you could incorporate that somehow so you wouldn't have to copy the link and paste it every time, that would be sweet.
Nice app but i do hace a problem. The error of "name too long" it happens to some swf files. It says error etc.....,(file name too long),continue
Thuis app doesn't work
Thank you for this usefull apps. Can you make this app grab an Flv flash? That would be awesome :)
I tried playing the same SWF file on a SWF player that reads data files and the SWF never played at all. This is very broken
If you can't get rid of the black screen, remove flash file playback. then just make the app able to download flash files to our mobile storage so other apps can open it. You will get more 5* Its for your own good!
Thank you so much... I was just looking for this app... Full support all the way!
When I tap on the game, it goes to a black screen with a white strip on the right side of the screen.-Dr.Philgood
This app. Ok

It's good, it plays some of my swf files. 4 stars is great. And all you stupid people really need to read the description, YOU NEED ADOBE FLASH! DON'T GIVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS IF YOU HAVEN'T UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING!
It downloads them fine but just doesn't play them so I have to explore the apps files and take the game out and put it in a app that can actually play them

I said to myself let me try this app even reading the negative posts by users. The idea of this app is nice but when I download swf game, only black screen no more else so fix or delete from market to don't waste time of android users
I appreciate the fact there's no rogue notifications appearing by using this app unlike with other similar apps, but it still doesn't work. Like other users say, there's black screens instead of the flash once it has been grabbed. Please fix!

How do you save the .swf files to your phone? (EDIT: Nevermind. I found it.)
