A large factor that contributed
to the rich multimedia nature of the Internet
is the Flash MX. It allows website designers add
and flaunt their designs. Instead of the plain
coding of the HTML, Flash allows a person to add
colorful animation and brief interactive movie
clips.
If you have the media player built into Flash,
you can download the latest version free. It means
that you will no longer need extra players like
RealNetwork’s RealPlayer or Microsoft’s
Windows Media Player.
Flash dominates the space. It has already become
the standard for the rich user interface. In fact,
big companies are users of Flash MX. To name a
few, they are Sony, IBM, sound-system maker Bose
and several hotel groups. Flash MX was also used
to make the website for the Salt Lake City Winter
Olympics. It was also used in an IBM demo specifying
the use of its WebSphere software. It swiftly
shows just how easy Flash explains online. Sony
Classical, on the other hand, used the same program
for a rich, multimedia teaser about its artists.
Flash MX has truly gone too far and Macromedia
is still aiming higher. It has recently announced
that Flash MX would also be available for Nokia
9200 series. It will be one of the first in a
range of powerful cell phones. Flash MX also has
the ability to create media using a clever set
of templates for the Microsoft-powered Pocket
PC handhelds. These major devices can create a
major turn in growth of modern technology. In
addition, it is not only user-friendly but the
compression of video and sound into a Flash can
lead to non-exhaustive download. Thus, it can
be saved into a smaller format and more compact
attachments.
Flash MX is a hallmark of a user-friendly construction
of Another Macromedia product which is the Dreamweaver.
The latter is a WYSIWYG design program which eventually
set a standard in a field that includes Microsoft’s
FrontPage. These kinds of programs allow you to
design a web page but it’s as easy as using
Word or Quark. It allows you to change fonts,
their sizes and the likes. It does the entire
HTML coding in the background. Macromedia is also
working on designs for more server-based applications
that will run on its ColdFusion and JRun server
technologies.
With just a quick download of a Flash file, you
can now enjoy music and videos and even order
the CD online. The site actually is bombarded
with massive hike in unique users who are purchasing
more music online. It’s like holding in your
hand all your needs and wants.
Flash MX interface is clearly superior and sophisticated.
You can do e-commerce and gaming applications
online at the same time. That’s what change
is all about. Flash MX has changed not only the
users experience but that of designers as well.
