Flash Animation

Flash animation is one of the most popular site effects creation technology. Also, like the creation of design ( a prototype), the development of flash animation is the creative process and often highly subjective, although the quality of professional work is always possible to distinguish.

There is no impossible job for flash animation, almost every idea can be realized through flash-technology. Most flash is used not only to give a dynamic page, but for the realization of the technical elements of the site (for example, translucent menus, located on top of the changing images).

Animated buttons, icons, menu items can make your site more lively and attractive. This is especially important for entertainment sites or sites subject matter, focusing on child and youth audience. Choosing Flash to create various forms of Web-animation is a good option for several reasons. Other forms of Web-animation, including dynamic HTML (DHTML), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG - scalable vector graphics), JavaScript and animated sequences of images format GIF, have the following disadvantages compared with Flash-animation:

* Files of some of the above formats are too large to store animation, menus or interactive content. A Flash-player makes animation effects and did almost the most compact files.
* Using different formats to display the range of potential effects is shrinking audience, because their computers will most likely not available all necessary facilities to see the content in the selected format.
* The content in some of these formats disjointed displays in different browsers.
* For some formats are there too large plug-ins.
Among the users are widely spread at least six browsers, each of which supports different properties and works a little differently than other browsers. If the same applies to create animation Flash, then you can be sure that that animation will be played virtually the same on different platforms.
