Flash- Animating internet


Every day we use internet for news, social networking, listening to songs, watching movies & animation, etc. But how many of us know that most fo the animations that we see over internet are built over a platform known as flash?
Most of the advertisements, animations & online games that we see over internet are built over flash. Flash content can be viewed in almost all type of computer machines, using Adobe flash player which is available for free. Flash based content are not only available for computers but also available in mobiles & tablet devices. Flash can be used to create animations of texts, drawings & even still images. This is achieved by manipulating the vector & raster information. You can also automate your flash animations & capture user inputs with the help of an object oriented language called ActionScript that is bundled with flash. The file formats are usually in swf, referring to shockwave flash. Another format of flash video files is .flv format that can be played on variety of media players like quicktime, Km player, etc. This file format is used extensively in Youtube videos. Flash videos usually take less bandwidth because of less sizes, which in turn is due to use of vector graphics along with program script.
