Adobe Flash

Adobe Flash, a multimedia authoring software developed by Adobe Systems(formerly by Macromedia), is used to create vector graphics-based animation programs, rich content, user interfaces and web applications, and combine videos with web pages.

Adobe Flash is written in C++, and contains ActionScript(a scripting language) for building almost all the interactivity (buttons, text entry fields, drop down menus) in its applications. In order to view standalone Adobe Flash (SWF) multimedia files and interact with Flash content, users need to download and install Adobe Flash Player, which is a multiple-platform client runtime software application.
