Flash Animation

Macromedia Flash, or simply Flash, refers to both a multimedia authoring program and the Macromedia Flash Player, written and distributed by Macromedia (acquired by Adobe Systems), that uses vector and raster graphics, a native scripting language called ActionScript and bidirectional streaming of video and audio. Strictly speaking, Macromedia Flash is the authoring environment and Flash Player is the virtual machine used to run the Flash files, but in colloquial language these have become mixed: "Flash" can mean either the authoring environment, the player, or the application files.

The Flash files (or "Movies"), which usually have a SWF file extension, may appear in a web page for viewing in a web browser, or for "playing" in the standalone Flash Player. Flash files exist most often as animations, advertisements, or design elements on web pages and, more recently, Rich Internet Applications. A Flash file can contain more diverse information than a GIF or JPEG file of the same size.

Flash is an excellent tool for demonstrating your abilities as a company. However, often times sites will use Flash when not appropriate and it is important to consider the positive and negative aspects of the tool before adding Flash animated components to your site.

Our Flash animation experts will take the time to understand your products and services and will be sure that the delivery of your animations to your visitors are fast, efficient and to the point.

Some uses of the Flash animation tool include:

  • Product Demonstrations
  • Portfolio Presentations
  • Corporate Overviews
  • Use as a Training / Educational Tool
  • Application Interfaces
  • Games

When deciding upon the use of Flash, you should consider who your site's visitors are. Will they be impressed with the use of Flash or will download times and the need for a browser plug-in cause them to leave your page before they see what you do? Our designers will work closely with you to optimize your use of Flash and make sure that it suits the needs of your prospects and clients.
