aka FLV (Flash Video), Adobe’s (originally developed by Macromedia) client-side competitor to Java that runs in a browser like Applets. The current version is 11.2.202.235 Last revised/verified: 2012-05-16. Its download is about 1.2 MB, compared with 3 MB for Shockwave, and 14 MB for the Java run time. It was initially designed to do rapid animations with very small downloads. Now it has been extended to handle data entry and database lookup functions. Macromedia decided to use fluffy XML as their transport protocol to the server. The downloaded files typically have the extension *.swt or *.swf. Test your Flash installation.
Adobe has effectively abandoned it, moving to HTML5 instead.
The HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) to invoke Flash is an <object tag, perhaps augmented with a deprecated <embed tag to handle the older browsers.
