Anyone looking to get start in the likes of Flash, Dreamweaver or Photoshop will undoubtedly benefit from the fairly extensive catalogue of videos that it available, but to describe the program as a media player is slightly misleading. Providing Flash videos have been associated with the application, they can be played through Adobe Media Player, but there is no option within the program to open individual files.
