Animation |
This is a format originally devised by
Macromedia (subsequently merged into Adobe)
for storing animations (optionally including sounds),
although it can also do a lot more than do animations
(for example, process forms or even build entire web sites).
In order to play a SWF file in a user's browser, they must have
a Flash plug-in installed, however most users do have this.
If you have a Flash enabled browser,
you should see an example Flash animation in the
box below. This demo also demonstrates one of the best
things about Flash - it's possible to pack an awful
lot of animation into quite small files (the example
below is only approximately 19K).
