A Good Flash Player

Question

Is there any software in ubuntu, like KMPlayer (in Windows) that can play swf (flash files) which give us the ability to fast forward and rewind and a full track bar to change the position?

With KMPlayer you can play swf files like video files (of course in Windows).

You can try GNU Gnash. It is as good as browser plugins and also as a standalone application.

As the description saying

GNU Gnash is a free GPL'd SWF player. It runs as a standalone application on either the desktop or embedded devices, or may be used as a plugin for several popular browsers. It supports playing media from a disk or streaming over a network connection.

To install it : do sudo apt-get install gnash in a terminal.

To install via Software-Center click this link

I saw gnash before. But in gnash you can't surf in a file. I mean you can't fastforward 10 seconds in swf file, or something like that. — MSajjadi, Jun 19 '12 at 17:45

Not that KMPlayer. It is a totally different matter. – MSajjadi Jun 19 '12 at 17:45

I prefer VLC.

You need to check that a universe repository is listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc

Or:
