flash animation

Flash movies are a favorite of web designers as they can have moving images, games, and interactive screens on the pages that are downloaded in a reasonable amount of time. But what is a flash player? It is a plugin that helps your browser to play flash movies. Anyone who has visited websites with games, cartoons, or interactive activities all on the same web page, knowingly or unknowingly, has used flash.

You can do quite a few things with flash. A web page built with flash can have cool buttons or menu bars that change as you choose. It could allow you to play a game or draw a picture. It is even possible to have fully interactive web pages that are more like video games than the web.

The use of flash is very common on company websites. Design and media companies in particular prefer the use of flash because they want to impress visitors. Many newspaper and magazine websites also use flash to create interactive maps of places featured in the news.

Flash is the program used by web designers to create pages, games, and special files, or “movies,” that this program creates. Movies are added to web pages just like images or other extras, like Java. When the page is sent from a web server to a browser, the movie file is also sent. The flash player, a special program, reads these movie files and displays them correctly within web pages.

Although not a standard part of the world wide web, since Flash was released in 1995, it has become the most common way to add cool extras to websites. Many computers are sold with the flash player already installed. In fact, more than 97% of Internet users already have Flash on their computers.

Flash gets a new version at frequent intervals, and you may need the latest version of Flash Player to view pages created with it.

Since flash animations have reasonably small file sizes, larger and more complex animations can be put online and downloaded reasonably quickly. They can also have built-in interactive capability, which is extremely popular for online games and special effects on web pages. The problem with flash is that it can make sites difficult to view and slow to download if used too often.
