1. Basics

Flash Browser (see Fig.1) is a navigator similar to a web browser, which,  instead of HTML  pages, works with Shockwave Flash source, loading it through both hyperlinks and a manual URL allocating as well.

Flash Browsing (or Flash Navigation) is a web browsing through web source, based on Flash hyper-linkage and use of Flash Browser (Fig. 2).

Hyper-linked Flash Source (HLFS) is a swf format source, which is specially conceived and build to implement linkage between one to others through Flash Browser. The kind of linkage could be local or global in the same way as it is implemented in HTML. The HLFS could be embedded into HTML containers sometimes, but Flash Browser will ignore the HTML part and will load and play only Shockwave Flash files. Sure, HLFS links could call some HTML source by use of getURL script action, but it will just open a Web Browser in addition to Flash Browser.
