The flipping FLASH! Service
Macromedia® FlashTM is the open internet standard for creating rich e-content. It is designed to deliver multimedia content more quickly, and therefore less costly, than other options. Resulting in a more engaging user experience and better ROI for content providers.
Multimedia capability
Flash offers publishers many choices, including seamlessly adding multimedia components to your e-publications if you so choose. They can include:
- text
- readable at any screen size or resolution
- ability to embed fonts for exact typographical rendering
- choose to make your text selectable or not i.e. so readers can copy & paste
- supports vertical text, ideal for Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean
- images - both bitmap (e.g. gif, jpeg, png) and also vector graphics for even smaller file size and faster downloads
- animation - vector graphic animation for a more compelling user experience
- audio - support for MP3, ADPCM, and new speech audio compression technologies
- video - import any standard video file supported by QuickTime or Windows Media Player, including MPEG, DV (Digital Video), MOV (QuickTime), and AVI
- user interactivity - allow users to fill in forms, answer quizzes, play games and more
Consistent viewing across all major platforms
Your e-publications will be seen by your viewers they way you intended, no matter what platform they are using, whether it's a Windows PC, Mac or UNIX computer. It's even possible to produce documents for viewing on some devices like handphones and PDAs.
Widespread user adoption
The Macromedia Flash Player is used by 98% of internet users (455 million people). Making it the most widely adopted rich client technology.
Stand-alone publications
Flash content is typically deployed over the World Wide Web and viewed using a browser. But it doesn't have to be!
We are able to produce stand-alone publications that bind your content with the Flash player. Which means you can distribute it on floppy disks, CD ROMs, as an email attachment, or have it downloaded from your website to be viewed off-line. These Flash Projector files are available for both Windows PCs and Macs.
