Flash MX

With the advent of modern information technology, websites and computer programs are now more visually appealing than ever before. 3-dimensional role playing games, online strategy games, interactive websites, etc. --- you name it, and visual effects are sure to be a part of it. Thus, Macromedia has emerged as among the top leaders that provide animation development and design tools to the general public.

The Flash MX has long been available, but has also divided the programmers of the world into two. The first group considers the use of Flash MX and Flash programming to be useful programming tools for animations, movies, and other forms of visual entertainment on stand-alone applications. The other party, on the other hand, sees Flash MX and the programming language to be necessary tools in web development and design.

In using Flash MX and the Flash programming language, you are assured of visually appealing web pages, but would lack the necessary features of accessibility and interactivity. This is because most Flash sites to date have issues that pertain to screen reader navigation. But, if you use both CSS and JavaScript, chances are you'll have a website that is fully accessible, navigable, usable, interactive, and visually entertaining as well.
