While Flash is commonly used to help add visual appeal to websites, the use of Flash animation does not have to be limited to splash screens and banner ads. Flash animation can be used for a number of things including online cartoons, interactive greeting cards, and CD-ROMS. Not only can B&A Creations design a full flash website for your company, but we can also offer other media solutions with the use of Flash animation.

Advantages to Using Flash

  • When used properly, Flash can make a website more attractive, interactive and dynamic.
  • Using Flash is a great way to display a lot of information in a small amount of space. In many cases, an entire company presentation or profile can be shown on a website in 30 seconds.
  • Flash-based work is likely to be rendered the same on all browsers and computer platforms, which gives designers more creative freedom in their designs.
  • Flash movies can be embedded on a web page or exported to construct stand-alone executable applications, which are ideal for CD-ROMs.
  • Flash movies can be stored in very small file sizes, so they can be downloaded quickly.
  • It is possible to import external information from a database into a Flash movie which allows the end-user to automatically update the Flash by editing an external XML file.
