Description: SWF (Macromedia Flash) player
A GTK+ and SDL based player for Macromedia Flash animations. Includes
a Mozilla plugin, that embeds the player into Mozilla-based browsers,
in order to allow seamless viewing of Flash animations in web
pages. Includes a GdkPixbuf loader, so that SWF animations can be
used seamlessly as images in Gtk+ applications.
And I see this when I do a

Shockwave Flash
File name: libmozswfdec.so
Shockwave Flash 6.0 animation viewer handled by Swfdec-0.2.2.
Plays SWF animations, commonly known as Macromedia® Flash®.
This is alpha software. It will probably behave in many
situations, but may also ride your motorcycle, drink all your
milk, or use your computer to browse porn. Comments, feature
requests, and patches are welcome.

Are we talking about different things?
