Flash .swf is a bit funny in some ways too. Depending on how you script it, you can get it to run: as a streaming file, as a downloaded file on the client computer, or an interface/host for yet another remotely loaded file. It's pretty dang versatile when you get into the scripting side of things, but most artists just use it for it's unique paint tools (as opposed to the pen, ugh) or its animation ability.
