What is Flash?

Jackie Binion | 21 February 2007 |

We refer to Flash in a lot of our articles that discuss new websites and website redesigns. Although many people may already know what Flash is, it may be helpful to others to learn about it.

According to Webopedia: Flash is a bandwidth friendly and browser independent vector-graphic animation technology. As long as different browsers are equipped with the necessary plug-ins, Flash animations will look the same. Using Flash, a user can create their own animation or import other images.

Flash was known as FutureSplash until 1997, when Macromedia Inc. bought the company that developed it. You can learn more about Flash at the Macromedia website.
