Web design using Flash
Flash is a method of producing animations with almost movie-like
smoothness and resolution. It's a "vector-based" method
of rendering images, enabling them to be both smoother than traditional
web graphics, and scalable to any size. These are high-impact graphics,
best seen with a broadband connection. To avoid Internet indigestion,
in most cases we use Flash as a garnish, not a full course.

with the old-fashioned GIF

smaller, yet you can drag the corner of the browser window to any
size, with no loss of quality or resolution. The motion is also
smoother than the GIF animation.
