Adobe Flash Web Applications - Making a cult right in the world of Web development

From simple 2D animated intro with objects flying at full power desktop applications, Flash has evolved big time.

Over the years, every latest version of Flash has led to other new features, animation tools, programming interfaces and ready for use, the components that allow designers to develop Internet applications extravagant.

A temporal sequence has been used to control the entry and exit, the movement and rotation of the vector graphics placed in a single layer, which were then collected to form a simple clip movie. The scope of interactivity and the winning design was minimal.

1. Object-based animation


2. Definition of key frames used to manage the automatic interpolation of animation


3. Motion path generated automatically


4. Motion Editor with easy to use tools for greater granular control over attributes and many other
