FutureSplash, FutureSplash Animator and Macromedia 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
