The SWC file extension is associated with Adobe's Flex software suite. Developed for creating Rich Internet Applications (RIA), Flex enables developers to quickly and easily create interactive applications developed in the client's browser. It has its own language, ActionScript, which provides some of the structure that applications need in order for them to run properly. SWC files are containers that compile other application elements, such as ActionScript classes and MXML components.
Function
SWC files store components that developers build in Flex Builder.This makes it easier for developers to use classes or components across multiple projects without having to reconfigure the source code every time they need a reference. It also provides a layer of abstraction between the code and the application to improve security because users cannot access the raw source code. The content stored in a SWC file needs to be compiled into an ActionScript bytecode class so it can be included in an application or library. Similar file extensions include MXML, SWF, and FLA.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SWC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SWC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SWC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SWC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SWC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SWC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SWC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SWC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SWC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SWC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
