The current version is Flash 5.0 that differs from its predecessors by offering a sophisticated programming tool known as ActionScripting.
Flash is a plug-in and web development application from Macromedia. Files created in Flash combine animation, sound and interaction and take advantage of a vector-based format to minimise file sizes. Flash generator takes advantage of the application architecture to produce graphic elements dynamically.
Macromedia Flash is a popular architecture for vector-based Web animation. Often referred to as “streaming,” Flash does not fit the definition of “true streaming” used in this Primer. While Flash shares some characteristics with streaming media, and can simulate video by animating sequential frames, it does not deliver standard, full-motion video file formats over the Web and is constrained to files containing no more than 16,000 frames (approximately 17 minutes of material at 15 fps). The Flash file format, SWF, can be created using Adobe After Effects and Adobe GoLive software, as well as other applications.
Development Language for animation, films, and graphical user interaction

Software by Macromedia that enables designers to use simple vector graphics to create computer animations, which can be viewed by any browser with the correct plug-in.
Software developed by Macromedia which makes a kind of movie on the site. This can make the site look very high tech. The problem is that although site owners love the effects, most visitors hate them, and most Flash is done so poorly, that it looks as though it were developed by a third grader. Done well, flash adds to the site, but also adds complication and expense.
Similar to flash sites on the Internet, some i-mode sites and handsets enable flash technology. Developed by Macromedia flash enables the creation of visually expressive sites with rich animation and sound. Users can store Flash data onto their handset and set it as wallpapers.
It is a software which allows you to create animated and multimedia enabled webpages. It is created by the Macromedia software company.
This is a way to add special effects to a webpage or website. Flash (See www.flash.com) is a lot like a JPG or a GIF image (see Image) in that it's inserted into a webpage. It's a window in which you can allow your viewers to watch movies or cartoons, listen to audio, play games or interact with things on the screen. A flash file ends in .swf and must be created with a special bit of software. The main tool that creators use to make flash files is called "Flash" and is available from Macromedia. But there are also cheap cut down tools such as Fire Starter from CoffeeCup.com and Swish from Swish.com which will let you create flash files with very little experience. They are ideal for making full-screen adverts or just for making special banners. Flash files are small in file-size and can contain hundreds of frames of animation compared to the few that animated GIFs allow. To view flash files in their web browser, visitors to your site will need to have a special plug-in installed on their computers. Fortunately, over 95% of all surfers already have it installed.

Unlike human beings, search engine spiders never click "Skip Intro", because search engine spiders cannot see that link. In fact, search engines cannot read anything in Flash. Any text, links, or images appearing within Flash will be invisible to search engines.
