Using Flash In Web Development
June 30th, 2010 by Richard
Flash is useful for adding animated and interactive elements to a web design. Using special software, images can be drawn which are scalable. This means that outlines remain crisp when enlarged or shrunk, rather than appearing jagged in the way that a JPEG, for example, might do. Such smooth types of images are known as vector graphics.
Animations produced using Flash allows the viewer to interact with what is happening on screen. For example, one might select certain items and move them around against the background. Flash creations typically load more quickly than other animations, and no programming experience is needed in order to create them.
One disadvantage of having Flash on a website is that visitors can only view it if they have downloaded a Flash player. However, many browsers currently have this pre-installed and, if not, it can be downloaded for free from the manufacturer’s own site. Creation of Flash movies at a professional level requires purchasing software. Objects are drawn as they appear at key frames within the film and the software then fills in the intervening stages.
Objects can be made to rotate, images can be converted into clickable buttons, and sound may be added to films. Although search robots can now read some text contained in Flash files, it is still best not to rely on Flash at present for any significant written content, or to use it in such a way that the site cannot function without it.
