# Image::ExifTool::Flash(3pm)

Read Shockwave Flash meta information

## NAME

Image::ExifTool::Flash - Read Shockwave Flash meta information

## SYNOPSIS

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

## DESCRIPTION

This module contains definitions required by Image::ExifTool to read SWF (Shockwave Flash) and FLV (Flash Video) files.

## NOTES

Flash Video AMF3 support has not yet been added because I haven't yet found a FLV file containing AMF3 information.  If someone sends me a sample then I will add AMF3 support.
