Adobe Flash

Adobe Flash software provides a comprehensive authoring environment for creating interactive and media-rich applications. Flash integrates video, sound, graphics, and animation.

One can create original content in Flash or import assets from other Adobe applications such as Photoshop or Illustrator, quickly design animation and multimedia, and use Adobe ActionScript to integrate sophisticated interactivity.

With extensive controls for animation, flexible drawing tools, and a powerful object-oriented coding language, Flash delivers one of the only robust environments that let your imagination become reality.
