Features: The fact that Flash is ubiquitous makes it the preferred system for content delivery on the internet. Over 95% of internet users have installed different versions of the Flash player, meaning they can browse Flash websites and view Flash content without needing to download anything else. In addition, Flash has many unique strengths in areas such as automatic playback on data CDs, game development, and multimedia presentations. We typically use Flash as an integration tool, importing elements created in various software into Flash and then setting up different actions separately. However, Flash can also be used as an element creation tool. For example, you can use it to create dynamic effects for static images, such as motion blur effects using tweening animations.
