Flash for Web Design

Interactive animation for the web

A web design agency knows that one of the things that entice a consumer to a product or service marketed in the net is the introduction. That is why various websites use Flash to create a video or interactive image to attract more audience and make it look more presentable.


Adobe Flash is a multimedia platform that graphic designers and web developers use to create animations, videos, and interactive content to a web page. Flash files are normally saved with the extension .swf but other extensions such as .flv are also used to a certain extent. Popular video depot, YouTube, uses flash to support playback of videos uploaded by users.

How It Works

Videos that are created or based on Flash require a player capable of playing such files, such as Quicktime and Windows Media Player with an external codec downloaded. With the interactive capability of Flash, it is one of the most popular platforms of mini games. Most of the activities that you will find in various websites aimed for kids use Flash.

Flash can also be used and normally comes pre-installed in mobile phones for on-the-go web browsing from your mobile phone and most of the browsers, when downloaded and installed, already installs a Flash plug-in since a huge chunk of websites depend on Flash.
