Flash is a tool for building interactive and animated websites. Flash sites can be any kind of website in any kind of industry. Flash websites are created using a multimedia graphics application called Macromedia Flash. The possibilities with flash websites are limitless, although they involve a lot more graphics and animation work. Almost anything you can imagine can be created within a flash animation as it enables you to create interactive movies on the web. Flash also uses vector graphics, which means your website or movie can be resized without losing any graphics clarity. An advantage of flash websites are that they look really nice, they load much faster than animated graphics, and flash allows for interactivity.
