However, creating or even managing a Flash website is not all that easy, as the technology is consuming and requires a lot of experience and expertise, especially when it comes to adding good, quality animations and forms.

Several JavaScript codes can create clever and appealing animations, but they still have a lot of work until reaching the excellence and style of Flash animation. Furthermore, with the appearance of Flash CS4, graphic designers have had the possibility to work in 3D as well, although some limitations were noticeable.

However, there are plenty of ActionScript libraries that developers can make use of in order to build amazing graphics in 3D.

Out of all the online applications available, when it comes to using either a microphone or a web cam, or even both of them, the Flash application is by far the easiest one. In addition to this great ease of use, a grafisk designer may choose to work with Flash when creating a website because of the excellent browser consistency that it provides, as opposed to other sites, developed in HTML or CSS. In order to get a Flash website up an running, developers only need two things: the Flash Player Plugin correctly installed in the browser and to have JavaScript enabled. As a matter of fact, it isn't even necessary to have JavaScript enabled in order for Flash to work, but they are, in many cases, used in combination, as SWFAddress or SWFObject.
