| ADOBE FLASH |
| |
| Introduction |
| |
Adobe Flash is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to web pages. Flash is frequently used for advertisements and games. More recently, it has been positioned as a tool for "Rich Internet Applications" ("RIAs").
Flash manipulates vector and raster graphics to provide animation of text, drawings, and still images. It supports bidirectional streaming of audio and video, and it can capture user input via mouse, keyboard, microphone, and camera. Flash contains an object-oriented language called ActionScript.
Flash content may be displayed on various computer systems and devices, using Adobe Flash Player, which is available free of charge for common web browsers, some mobile phones and a few other electronic devices (using Flash Lite).
Some users feel that Flash enriches their web experience, while others find the extensive use of Flash animation, particularly in advertising, intrusive and annoying, giving rise to a cottage industry that specializes in blocking Flash content. Flash has also been criticized for adversely affecting the usability of web pages. |

Flash Topics Covered  |
| |
| ADOBE Flash Actionscript Level (I)2.0 |
| |
Adobe ActionScript is the programming language of the Adobe Flash Platform. Originally developed as a way for developers to program interactivity, ActionScript enables efficient programming of Adobe Flash Platform applications for everything from simple animations to complex, data-rich, interactive application interfaces.
This manual provides a foundation for developing applications in Adobe ActionScript 3.0. It discusses core ActionScript 3.0 concepts, including language syntax, statements and operators, and object-oriented ActionScript programming |
| |
| Applications: |
| |
| * |
ActionScript 2.0 contains a host of powerful new features that can greatly speed the development process |
| * |
ActionScript 2.0 consists of two parts: the core language and the Flash Player API |
| * |
The core language defines the basic building blocks of the programming language, such as statements, expressions, conditions, loops, and types |
| * |
ActionScript 2.0 includes native support for regular expressions so you can quickly search for and manipulate strings |
