Flash Fanatic

Creating a java applet is complicated since it requires programming skills. By a poor programmer even there is a possibility of eating up of all the resources on the computer which results in freezing of the browser while loading the free website.

So we move to the flash concept. In many ways flash movies are similar to java applets. But it is fairly easy to create animation in flash without programming skills using Flash website builder. Small programs can be embedded into your HTML pages.
Applets have often been criticized for “killing” browsers. Some of the advantages of flash over java applets are.

• It is easier to create flash movies than java applets.
• The stability of flash movies is more in web browsers than java applets.

But all the programs that can be done in java cannot be done with flash. In order to create Flash movies you need a to buy the Flash program and then the finished movies can be added to your Flash websites.

It is being developed by Macromedia and the latest version is Flash Mx. Buying a flash program is a must for the Flash website developers. And anyone who has the free Flash plug-in Active-X installed with their browser can view flash movies. After getting installed with the flash program you can start creating flash movies, flash websites etc.
