Flash Animation Has Made the Website Revolution

The first websites in comparison with the new website design, multimedia, «WEB 2.0», multiple portals look like cars 20-ies in comparison with modern concepts automotive industry. When a web of resources to deliver only the texts now to make the user can be virtually any type of information – video, audio, text. Another point of all kinds of multimedia technology can be Flash.
So, like any human invention advanced, flash-animation in the usual form for us has not once with tutorials. Started more than two decades ago, this technology has several stages of development and eventually became a very necessary and useful applications that made the web sites, multimedia information and can make an unusual design pages.

At the dawn of the Internet sites were miserable in terms of color and design solutions saturation audio-video. Website last century have been static, sometimes they like the plain text document. This situation does not satisfy either site owners or users of the global network. And so, and others wanted more opportunities for communication and implementation of its future of the Internet. Urgently needed to liven animated electronic pages.
Since the invention in 1987, the GIF format of the site were able to deploy resources to moving images. Pictures just succeeded one another with a certain amount of time. Of course, it was very easy and without special effects, but it was already a breakthrough! The site has become «revive».
Independent hardware GIF format was developed by CompuServe for transferring raster images across networks. In the 1989-meters format modified by adding support for transparency and animation. This format allows the use of compact, with small image file on a Web page that has a major impetus for wider dissemination GIF on the World Wide Web.
My second birth was online in 1994, when the technology was invented by World Wide Web (www). Since then, the number of websites is beginning to grow in geometric progression. The need for the use of animated design elements is increasing.
It is still widely used on sites gif-animation, and some webmasters are beginning to introduce animated images produced using a vector graphics technology. However, there is a serious problem: the huge number of diverse software animation can not be displayed on the computer each user. Need to download and install various plug-ins, or else the site may not work.
Solving the problem has been relatively simple: two huge corporations engaged in animation and vector graphics, decided to unite to create a single application for the production of Web animation. In November 1996, Jonathan Gay and his colleagues had joined the company Macromedia, and Future Splash Animator turned into Macromedia Flash. Later in the corporation joined Adobe.
Flash technology has been actively developed and implemented in the global network. Its basis is a special programming language – ActionScript. Now when you create a product could use a variety of video, audio and graphics files. New technology made a revolution in the development of web pages. Now they really could be called interactive, animated and information-rich.
Now it is very difficult to find a site that at least the minimum amount would not be «flash». On the contrary, there is a sufficient number of pages, completely decorated in the flesh. Typically, this site dedicated to games, design studios, personal pages and other sites, amazing beauty and unusual realization. Major portals and information resources to avoid the use of Flash, because the information placed on «flash», can not be displayed on some computers (for various reasons, users can turn off your browser’s settings to display the flash-animation). Besides «flash» are not indexed by search engines, and therefore can not participate in the SEO-optimization.
Instead, Adobe Flash often use JavaScript, and interactive Web applications – AJAX. However, these alternative technologies, unfortunately, not so flexible and easy to use as Flash.
