Some Information about Macromedia Shockwave Flash
What is Flash 3?
Flash is the standard for interactive vector graphics and animation for the Web. Web designers use Flash to create beautiful, resizable, and extremely compact navigation interfaces, technical illustrations, long-form animations, and other dazzling effects for their site. Graphics and animation will anti-alias and scale based on the viewer's screen size, providing high-quality viewing.
Flash 3 advances Web animation with exciting transparency and shape blending effects. New movie clip and button actions create sophisticated interactivity without scripting. Improved interface design and functionality make Flash easier to use and more productive than ever.
Benefits of using Flash 3
Flexible
Flash is the perfect all-around Web interface design tool. Use it to create everything from full-screen animations to navigation bars, animated buttons, illustrations, maps, ad banners, and more.
Fast
Break the bandwidth barrier with streaming Flash files that play while they download. There's no wait, even over slow modem connections.
Compact
Flash vector technology means Flash files are extremely small, even when animations play back full screen. The Shockwave Flash player is also small, at less than 170K.
Beautiful
Take advantage of natural anti-aliasing, meaning that all letter and image edges are smooth, even while animating.
Interactive
Any graphic or animation can be a button. Flash is the premier technology for creating multimedia interfaces for the Web.
Universal
Flash content plays back everywhere through support for ActiveX, Flash Player Java Edition, GIF, animated GIF, RealPlayer Shockwave Flash plug-in, and WebTV, with or without plug-ins and over slow modem connections.
