Inserting Flash Movies
Macromedia Flash movies are vector-based animations and media that you can scale, rotate, and modify without losing any degree of sharpness or quality. Flash movies are especially suited for playback over the Web because they have a small file size, which loads and plays quickly. You can insert Flash movies into your Web page.
