.swf

A .swf ("Shockwave Flash" or "Small Web Format") is a flash extension file used by The Club Penguin Team when designing rooms, player cards, penguins, games etc. When you open a .swf room (for example http://media1.clubpenguin.com/play/v2/content/global/rooms/town.swf), no penguins appear, because it is just a local .swf file.

History

 * When Club Penguin started, the only .swfs were the rooms.
 * After the French and Portuguese servers came, the .swfs turned into only French and Portuguese and barely any .swfs are English.



Trivia

 * Everything in Club Penguin has a swf file.


 * Some swfs are deleted when they will not be used again.


 * The .swf's of the games just shows one colour, everything else in the game is hidden in Club Penguin's script.


 * The .swf's of the music are on white because, they are with no color to adding them to the room it is gonna play the music.


 * The flash.swf keeps Club Penguin running.


 * The Club Penguin Team deletes old swf files, probably because they need more space or if they're not needed.


 * Hacking devices such as CP Trainer and Penguin Storm are made using flash swfs.


 * Most swfs are not deleted, they are updated, like the Town on the map.


 * When the April Fools Day 2009, Safari Hat Pin and the Music Jam 2009 and toy sailboat pin came out too early it made some of the items unavailiable.


 * Some games in .swf form are unavailable in Club Penguin.


 * On the Exclusive Rockhopper Background there is an uncolored puffle.
