MULTIMEDIA
Multimedia means combination of different media like text, graphics, animation, sound & interaction. In this we combine computer generated graphics, animation, video images, slide shows, variable fonts, and series of screen effects with audio effects.
- Multimedia application is distributed in the following ways:
1) Training  2) Information  3) Entertainment.
- Knowledge on any subject can be imparted effectively and without much human interaction.
- Information of any subject in the universe is available or will be available on CD- ROM because minimum 700 MB of information can be stored on one CD.
- Computer Graphics, Animation & Multimedia is widely used in Film/TV/Cable Industries, Advertising field etc.
- Job/ Business Opportunities are infinite compared to any existing industry.

ADOBE FLASH
An extremely popular multimedia authoring and playback system from Adobe. Flash formats are used for most of the animated ads and video clips on today's Web sites. Flash Lite is a version for mobile phones.
Created in authoring applications, such as Flash MX and Flash Professional, Flash "movies" in the .SWF file format are played back in Adobe's Flash Player within the Web browser or from a stand-alone application that accesses the Player.
Flash animations became very popular because they support vector images, which are very space efficient for illustrations on the Web. They also scale up and down with accurate detail when the window is resize
Salient Features
- Create high-performance, real-time effects for cinematic experiences that quickly engage users.
- Take advantage of a new, flexible text engine that brings print-quality publishing to the web
- Add real-time dynamic effects with built-in filters for blur, drop shadow, glow, bevel, gradient glow, gradient bevel, displacement map, convolution, and color matrix
- Deliver web applications with accurate color, so your favorite web destinations look the way they were intended
- Bring your designs to life with animation and compositing capabilities, such as support for alpha channels, masking, and layering. Create stunning motion graphics integrated with images and video.
Application
- Flash is Primarily an animation tool for the Web.
- You can also create Corporate presentations and 2D Animations.
ADOBE FLASH WITH ACTIONSCRIPT
Adobe ActionScript is the programming language of the Adobe Flash Platform. Originally developed as a way for developers to program interactivity, ActionScript enables efficient programming of Adobe Flash Platform applications for everything from simple animations to complex, data-rich, interactive application interfaces.
This manual provides a foundation for developing applications in Adobe ActionScript 3.0. It discusses core ActionScript 3.0 concepts, including language syntax, statements and operators, and object-oriented ActionScript programming
Application
- ActionScript 3.0 contains a host of powerful new features that can greatly speed the development process
- ActionScript 3.0 consists of two parts: the core language and the Flash Player API
- The core language defines the basic building blocks of the programming language, such as statements, expressions, conditions, loops, and types
- ActionScript 3.0 includes native support for regular expressions so you can quickly search for and manipulate strings
