What is Flash?

Adobe Flash Professional is an application used by web designers, developers, and animators to create rich content for screen and web environments. Web designers use Flash for creating interactive and animated content for web sites and mobile applications, working with and converting video using Adobe Media Encoder. Developers use Flash for creating and editing ActionScript using the built-in coding tools, developing cross- platform mobile applications using Adobe AIR, debugging and testing applications on AIR-enabled mobile devices, and building applications which can be distributed across various device app store ecosystems.

Animators use Flash for animating characters and objects using sophisticated motion tweens, adding visual effects with various filters and blurs, and creating lifelike environments using the various drawing tools. Flash Professionals allows you to create engaging artwork, applications, and animations like the ones you see here. As a member of the creative suite, Flash Pro integrates with several other Adobe applications, like Photoshop for bitmap editing and Illustrator for vector symbol manipulation. No matter if you are a web designer, developer, or animator, Flash Professional provides you with an array of tools to help you create rich and engaging content for the web, screen, or mobile devices.
