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.

The file size of the Flash animation is significantly 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.
