.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, like this .swf file), no penguins appear, because it is just a local .swf file.

History

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





Trivia

 * All penguins in .swf's are the color Dark Black.
 * 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 color, everything else in the game is hidden in the script of the .swf, that tells it to not show a frame unless it is a real game.
 * The .swf backgrounds of the music are white because they are not combined with their picture counterpart that the music goes with.
 * However, there is one remaining .swf of Penguin Chat 3 with both music and a picture.
 * The flash.swf keeps Club Penguin running.
 * The Club Penguin Team deletes old .swf files, probably because they need more space.
 * 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 .swf there is an uncolored puffle and Rockhopper's signature.
 * If you try to type "undefined" for either a penguin name or password, an orange box will pop up, displaying the message "You need to enter your username/password to enter Club Penguin". This is because flash considers "undefined" a null object (basically, it would be the same if you typed nothing).
 * Club Penguin is made with Adobe Flash.
 * When something in Club Penguin is changed or updated, the .swf automatically updates itself.
 * shell.swf has 9162 lines of code.
 * The Halloween Party 2009 .swfs was released too early.
