No, Adobe Flash player and Adobe Shockwave player are completely different programs. Adobe Flash player is for playing content made with Adobe Flash. Adobe Shockwave player is for playing content made with Adobe Director.

Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player are not the same program. Adobe Reader is a PDF document reader that enables users to open PDF files from within their internet browsers, or from their hard drives. Adobe Flash player is used to allow users to view web-based animations, games, videos, advertisements, and more.

No. Google chrome is a browser, program used to view internet pages.

Adobe Flash Player is a program which allows browsers to understand internet content written with Adobe Flash Professional. Only a browser together with Flash Player can view this kind of content. Google Chrome has Flash Player already inside it.

Yes, Flash was originally developed by Macromedia who were subsequently acquired by Adobe, so the programme was renamed.
