What is Flash?
 
Flash is a technology developed by Macromedia. It enables developers to add animated graphics, video, and sound to websites while still maintaining a small file size - so, it's easily managed over the internet. It's become very trendy for companies to use a Flash introduction to a website. It can capture a interest and often increases the amount of time a user spends at your website.
