What is Macromedia Flash MX?
Macromedia’s Flash MX is actually two programs. The Flash Player is a free, client-side application downloadable over the web. Most computer users already have some version of the Flash player installed on their computer, whether they realize it or not. There is also a larger, commercial product called “Flash MX” that allows for the creation of Flash content. At its simplest, Flash is designed to deliver interactive animation over the web quickly. Many sites use it for menus or other navigational constructs, as well.
