Flash Multimedia
So what is Flash Multimedia,
and why is everyone making such a big deal about it? Most of you
have visited web sites containing video-like animation, sound effects
and music synchronized to the animation, enhanced
interactivity, and stunning graphics--all of which
appear to load and play almost instantly. Most likely those sites
had you wondering how they are so much more advanced than other
sites.
Flash (developed
by Macromedia) is the leading vector graphics technology for designing
high-impact, low-bandwidth web sites. SWF (ShockWave Flash), the
file format used by Macromedia Flash to deliver graphics, animation
and sound over the Internet is rapidly changing the way we play,
work, or just browse online.
What are vector graphics? Vector graphics, which manipulate coordinates
and mathematical formulas rather than pixel-by-pixel bitmaps, produce
graphics files that are one-tenth the size of bitmaps. Additionally,
SWF can deliver animation, rich colors, sound, and interactivity.
Moreover, this approach downloads faster, and it boasts higher quality
than other graphics formats.
Now over 95% of Internet users can now view SWF content: over 300
million people have downloaded the Flash Player for their browser.
Even better, if you already run at least a 4.0 browser, no plug-in
is required - it's already there.
Flash Design is the power behind some of the most
amazing multimedia presentations seen on-line today. If you've got
an important message to get across and it's worth the expense of
making it catchy, hi-tech and captivating then flash
may just be the perfect tool for creating your presentation.
