Flash the thing to make websites and games.
In: 46
Flash animation used vector graphics, which use curves and areas of color, instead of individual pixels, meaning the animation files were smaller than normal video, which was super important in the early days of the Internet because bandwidth was limited. It was also pretty easy to work with. It’s no longer around for a few reasons, but mainly that it was buggy, full of security flaws, and didn’t play nicely with hardware. Flash was already in decline, but when Apple decided not to allow it on iOS, it was the nail in the coffin.
