ADOBE FLASH
Adobe Flash multimedia applications that allow designers and developers the freedom to create rich and engaging applications, presentations, animations, and web sites.
SALIENT FEATURES
Movie created in Flash has a very less file size.
Multiple actions can be attached,such as can create a new HTML file or add a Shockwave Flash movie to an existing HTML file.
Aftershock will also create a script to detect START or STOP the movie, GO TO
A URL, LOAD a new movie or perform any number of other functions.
Another unique feature of Flash 4 is Bandwidth Profiler.This feature takes care of the usual drawback of multimedia file size, and bring the user to reality.
APPLICATIONS
Flash is Primarily an animation tool for the Web.
You can also create Corporate presentations and 2D Animations.
