Adobe
Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a multimedia platform used to add
animation, video, and interactivity to web pages. Flash is frequently
used for advertisements, games and flash animations for broadcast. More
recently, it has been positioned as a tool for "Rich Internet
Applications" ("RIAs").
Flash contains an object-oriented language called ActionScript and supports automation via the JavaScript Flash language (JSFL).
Flash content may be displayed on various computer systems and devices, using Adobe Flash Player, which is available free of charge for common web browsers, some mobile phones, and a few other electronic devices (using Flash Lite).
Some users feel that Flash enriches their web experience, while others find the extensive use of Flash animation, particularly in advertising, intrusive and annoying, giving rise to a cottage industry that specializes in blocking Flash content. Flash has also been criticized for adversely affecting the usability of web pages.
