    ADOBE FLASH

    Adobe's Flash platform consists of several Flash-based runtime clients: Flash Player, Flash Lite, and Adobe AIR. Each run time has its own set of functions and APIs that are specific for that run time.

    The Flash platform also encompasses a component framework, Flex. All these elements, the runtime clients and component frameworks, support and utilize the SWF format.

    Flash is predominantly used for the web deployment of rich content and applications. It is installed as a web browser plug-in, and can also run content in standalone mode. The Adobe Flash logo is shown in Figure 1-1.
