Flash

Overview

Flash is the solution for producing and delivering high-impact Web sites. Web developers use Flash to create beautiful, resizable, and extremely small and compact navigation interfaces, technical illustrations, long-form animations, and other dazzling effects for Web sites and other Web-enabled devices (such as WebTV). Flash graphics and animations are created using the drawing tools in Flash or by importing artwork from your favorite vector illustration tool, such as Macromedia FreeHand.
