Internet Basics: Flash is Like French Kissing
Ever remember your first kiss? Most of us stumbled into the
world of kissing sometime in adolescence without much
instruction, if any. Sure, we stumbled, but it was worth it. And
eventually we found our way, we hit our stride, and we knew how
to kiss.
Then, suddenly, something turned our world upside down - someone
laid a French kiss on us. And one thing was for sure - French
kissing was kissing, yet different.
That's what Flash is like.
We probably don't encounter Flash the first time we browse
around on the Web. In fact, most of us get used to good old
webpages - how they look, how they react, what they do. And just
when we think we got this Web thing figured out - wham! - we
come across a Flash-based website, or even just some funky part
of a normal webpage that's Flash-based. And we notice certain
things:
· Maybe things moving around, fast!
· Maybe interactive things, almost like a little movie you get
to control
· Maybe video or sound
· Maybe it just seems pretty dynamic for a webpage
That's Flash, and that's just the tip of it. Flash is a program
for creating all kinds of things, but mostly it's used for
making "movies" that people drop into various parts of normal
webpages. It could be a Flash banner ad, or a Flash

logo. These Flash "movies" download really quickly due to their
small file size, and can do pretty flashy things.
Sometimes an entire website will be made in Flash, which usually
means it will take longer to download than a normal website. So
when people make an entire website in Flash, they'll often offer
a non-Flash version of the site (e.g., Hollywood movie websites
often have Flash and non-Flash version of their websites).
Flash is so different from usual content on the Web that your
browser won't know what to do with it unless you've downloaded
the Flash plug-in first.
And that's why Flash is like French kissing.
