Adobe
Flash, or simply
Flash, refers to both the Adobe
Flash Player, and to the Adobe
Flash Professional multimedia authoring program. Adobe
Flash Professional is used to create content for the
Adobe Engagement Platform (such as web applications, games
and movies, and content for mobile phones and other embedded
devices). The
Flash Player, developed and distributed by Adobe Systems
is a client application available in most common web
browsers. It features support for vector and raster graphics,
a scripting language called ActionScript and bi-directional
streaming of audio and video. There are also versions of the
Flash Player for mobile phones and other non-PC devices.
Strictly speaking, Adobe
Flash Professional is an integrated development
environment (IDE) while
Flash Player is a virtual machine used to run, or parse,
the
Flash files. But in contemporary colloquial terms "
Flash" can refer to the authoring environment, the
player, or the application files.
Since its introduction in 1996,
Flash technology has become a popular method for adding
animation and interactivity to web pages; several software
products, systems, and devices are able to create or display
Flash.
Flash is commonly used to create animation,
advertisements, various web-page components, to integrate
video into web pages, and more recently, to develop rich
Internet applications.
It provides the basis to create media rich internet
applications which provide breath-taking visuals and
interactivity which is unmatched by any browser alternative.
DOTNUTSHELL Technologies can use FLASH to create powerful,
awe-inspiring internet applications and software as well as
extended it to replace the standard desktop appliction
bringing new levels of interactivity and aesthetics to the
desktop.
