Macromedia Flash---known as Adobe Flash since the purchase of Macromedia by Adobe in December 2005---is a flexible Internet multimedia platform used that delivers audio, video and interactive gaming content through websites.
In-line Video
Because of its superb support for high-quality video, the largest online video providers utilize Adobe Flash. Using Adobe Flash, you can display video within a website in quality up to full high definition (HD).
In-Line Audio
As with video, audio support for Adobe Flash is high quality---making it easy to include music and other audio content within a website---with support for multiple audio formats.
Interactive Content
Unlike HTML, which limits website visitors' interaction with site content, interfaces developed with Adobe Flash can be fully interactive.
Visually Appealing Content
Designing web pages with Adobe Flash allows for visual offerings---such as animations and 3-D rendering---that are largely impossible when using HTML.
Broad Support
According to adobe.com, all modern web browsers support the Adobe Flash platform and more than 90 percent of Internet users have it installed on their computers as of November 2009. Such market penetration means websites designed with Flash are virtually guaranteed to work with visitors in a consistent fashion.
