What is the use of flash in animation?
Flash is used to create animation for primarily online content. Flash has features such as motion tweens and built in effects, and is able to animate content not created in flash itself by use of keyframes and the like. The reason why flash has become popular for creating animations is because it is also able to detect user interaction, allowing for not just plain animations, but websites, video games, math programs, and other useful utilities. One of the most common examples of this being Youtube, which streams video via flash.
