Adobe Flash

Flash is a tool for creating interactive and animated WebPages. Flash was developed by Macromedia at year 1996. Its multimedia platform used to add animations, videos, vector graphics, and voice over to develop interactive WebPages. Flash got the power of animation in the common man’s hands. Because it was so easy to creates animation and develop interactivity. Developing flash is a perceptive process; developers are enjoying the simplicity and forcefulness of action scripting language. Flash has large developer community (more than 3.5 million of developers use flash platform) providing great support for developers. Flash offers away to simplify your work called symbols. Animations and interactivity can be expert only with symbols.

It provides a way to create layers in your animation. Using layers can organize the content of an animation and separate different objects or group of objects. As you work with your animation, you can hide the layers to prevent the stage from getting cluttered and heavy, and you can lock layers to prevent the accidental changes to the objects on them. Flash does not need programming skills and is easy to learn.

Good intel Ashokrajan. I remember buying the first version of Flash when it was launched at an exhibition in London, mainly because I was interested in animation.

A few years ago I stopped using Flash for building complete websites because, as you say above, it is more difficult to get rankings in the search engines than plain HTML. Although recently, Google and other search engines have been getting much better at reading and indexing Flash Websites.

My pet hate is reaching a website with a Flash intro and a "Enter Here" button that you need to click before you can see the content. I usually click away to the next site when I see this.

Interestingly, a few months ago, I split tested the traffic between a Flash site with intro and a plain Wordpress site. The bounce rate on the Flash site was almost double that of the Wordpress. Flash has it's place, but unless you really need interactivity on your website, stick to something simple.
