- Flash content is compress and smaller file size than HTML for download
speed
- Flash is downloaded as a movie
- HTML pages are rendered one at a time
- Flash allows visual control, enhanced interactivity, video, scalability,
streaming content, combination of Vector and bitmaps, and faster download
speeds.
Flash
- Flash is a multimedia platform used for animation and interactivity
on the web. Flash allows manipulation of vector and raster graphics
allowing uniformity by resizing.
- The .fla file is the source code of
your movie and can be converted into a .swf (ShockWave Flash) file
which is a compilation of the code into a object.
