A: Flash is a multimedia development tool that creates high-end applications to be embedded into web pages. Flash programs can also be used as stand-alone applications. Flash's power comes from the use of vector graphics which can be scaled to anybody's monitor settings without a loss of quality. Another feature that makes Macromedia's Flash popular is the compact size of Flash files. The software can deliver high-end graphics through the web by keeping the file sizes relatively small. Flash can also incorporate video clips, image files, sound files, and will import files from other vector programs like Adobe Illustrator.

A: Yes, Flash does work on FullServeHost.com's servers. This is the general HTML format that you should have in your WebPages: <EMBED SRC="yourflash.swf" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="82" LOOP="false"> You should replace yourflash.swf with the name of your Flash application. The width and height can be set to anything you want, although they should keep the same proportion ratio as the original file. For instance, if your original file had dimensions of 800 pixels by 600 pixels, the Flash application could be displayed at 400 pixels by 300 pixels without any loss of quality.
