Website General Information

Flash Content

Flash is very big on the Internet. It is a multi-media program that you can use to make simple or elaborate animated web content which can include fancy text, links, cartoons, games, puzzles and play music among other things. Rather than go into a lot of explanation, suffice it to say that generally on a website, when you see moving symbols or letters, or logos that rotate or dissolve into other images, that is Flash at work. Likewise the various E-cards that people send for holidays and birthdays are also Flash-based webpages. Below are a few examples of Flash buttons. The only limitation to what a Flash button looks like is your imagination. From simple buttons that light up or change color to elaborate buttons that change shape or size and include sound effects; if you want to add some interesting and attention-getting effects, Flash content is the answer. Flash playing software is standard equipment in just about all computers sold today, current estimates put it as being available on 99% of all machines. If on the rare occasion that someone does not have Flash, it is available as a FREE download from Adobe. Here are a few interesting flash buttons. Click on them to see what they do, and hit your browser BACK button to return to this page. Click on the light blue button with the green border to see some really fancy Flash effects.
