I've installed flash several times on my Mac OS 10.14. Adobe confirms this, but Flash is not in my Applications folder. Also, .swf files do not open. How can I fix this?

Flash is a browser plug-in and is saved to the /Library/Internet Plug-ins directory

All major browser vendors block Flash by default, forcing users to enable it.  See https://helps.adobe.com/flash-player.html for links to instructions to enable Flash on the various browsers.

Flash Player doesn't go in your Applications folder and it doesn't play SWF files on your disk. It is an add-on for your browser ONLY.
