Flash 5

April 2, 2001

As you surf around the Internet today you will begin to notice that numerous sites have begun to implement many aspects of one of the latest Macromedia products - Flash 5. If you have experienced Flash 3 or 4 get ready for a whole new excitement with this latest version!

In this article we are going to look at some of the latest functions of Flash while hopefully giving you a little bit of a sneak peak into the future of the application.

Basically, Flash creates graphical presentations and animation for Web sites. These usually consist of vector graphics, but can also include bitmaps and sounds. Flash can be used to create animations (such as logos), site navigation, cartoon-like sequences, and even entire Web sites to create a true multimedia online experience. The final exported movies (.SWF files) are usually compact and can be download quickly. Files made up of mostly vector-based graphics can be shown to scale in a browser without the loss of visual quality.

Although the Macromedia Flash program has been around for quite a while, it is now becoming an industry standard for building entire Web sites as well as adding interactivity and dynamic effects to the site.
