Flash Extensions are free user-made plug-ins that you can use with [[Adobe Flash]]. They are available for both Macs and PC's. ==What You'll need to use extensions== The only piece of software besides Flash that you will need for extension is the Adobe or Macromedia Extension Manager. These programs are free and available for download here. You need them to install extensions, and your Extension Manager version ''must'' correspond with the version of Flash you own, otherwise the Extension Manager ''will not'' recognize your copy of Flash.
