Playback using Ruffle. Some flashes won't display correctly. You can open the swf in Adobe's offline flash player to view it as intended.
Categorization table: Help out by putting the flash you have just watched into the correct categories. Most important are the 5 main categories. If you are in a hurry you need only consider them.
These are the categories on swfchan. There are 5 main categories and each of them has a number of subcategories. You don't have to submit more than 1 categorization, only select the ones you are sure of. CATEGORY INDEX
Since you are viewing the flash with Ruffle there's a high chance it is not actually broken and any issues are caused by Ruffle lacking support for features required to display it properly. To categorize this flash as broken, please return to the page with the GET FILE button and uncheck Ruffle. After viewing the flash with the old flash plugin/player by Adobe you may categorize it as broken if it truly is broken.
Furry or Animal?Sometimes it can be tricky to determine if the being in the flash is a furry character or an animal. Here are some pointers:
Does the being in the flash exist in reality? If you can look at it and say "yep, that's definately an ape" then it might just be an animal after all. If the being is NOT drawn and NOT rendered in 3D it can't be a furry character since it's in fact a real animal! (Unless of course it's a human dressing up in a fursuit because that's definately to be considered furry...)
Fantasy animals almost always counts as furry characters unless they are similar to a real animal type.
If the animal has a human penis it is always furry. But an animal penis does not always equal bestiality porn, it could still be furry!
Look at the eyes of the being. Does it have the eyes of an animal or does it look like the eyes are made prettier? Then it has been given human characterism and is a furry. Same thing if it makes a facial expression that only humans make!
What does the being do, is it acting like an animal or is it walking upright or doing something else that real animals can't really do? Then it's a furry. Truth is most people never draw actual bestiality porn - they draw furry porn.

This is an open-source emulator that parse swf files and displays them in the browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly.
You don't need to do anything to use this on swfchan, just have a ticked checkbox above.
Functionality can be limited but works decent on most flash files. AS2 and AS3 is supported, although not fully. Details of the version currently installed on swfchan can be seen here. If Ruffle seems outdated go tell me to update it in this thread.
Projector
Adobe's offline Flash Player is available for download through the Wayback Machine. It is what I recommend if you want a simple yet reliable way to watch flash files.
Save flashplayer_32_sa.exe somewhere on your computer (no installation needed) and here on swfchan you uncheck the "Embed" option. When asked what to do with the swf file you tell your browser to "Open with" the projector exe.
The flash will be downloaded to a temp location and then automatically viewed in flashplayer_32_sa.exe.
Plugin
Either install an old version of the official plugin or the last version (which is bricked by Adobe) and then replace it with a fixed version. Check here for resources and instructions.
There's an official way of getting the last plugin to work by editing mms.cfg but it is flawed with []-in-filename issues, better to just swap out their bricked plugin. Search this thread if you want info about mms.cfg.
With the NPAPI plugin you can view flash in your browser as long as it still supports NPAPI. With the ActiveX plugin you can view flash with a seekbar in MPC-HC.
- HOW TO MAKE FLASH CONTENT -
You make it in flash! Adobe Flash CS6 Professional to be specific.
The only downside with CS6 compared to earliler or newer versions of Pro/CC/Animate is that CS6 can't import .svg vectors but you can use Inkscape to convert SVG into the supported .fxg format (Flash XML Graphics). There's an old guide available on how to make a basic flash loop in CS6.
