Flash is the most compelling form of web animation
available today. If you want to add a dynamic element
to your website...use FLASH.
At Webcast 1, we use flash to embellish
our interface designs, using it tastefully as needed,
often as an embedded element within the framework
of a homepage.
Macromedia
Flash Player is used by over 414 million people,
making it the most widely viewable rich client
technology to deploy content and applications (According
to Macromedia.com).
Why FLASH over traditional animated .gifs? Vector-based
content and applications download faster than their
bitmap equivalents. Streaming data content appears
immediately, without having to wait for the entire
piece to download.
