Media and animation
Most e-learning practitioners are familiar with Flash’s animation capabilities. Who hasn’t visited a Website that has an animated introduction or received an animated Flash movie via email? Because Flash can support animation, video, and audio, it’s become a preferred environment for media-rich learning experiences. With broadband Internet connections becoming more common, instructional designers are beginning to design with confidence the kind of engaging learning experiences previously impractical over the Internet.
Flash has been able to convert video AVI files to Flash SWF files since the release of Flash MX. However, Macromedia’s most recent Flash release, Flash MX 2004, includes a new type of Flash file type called a Flash Video (the files have a .flv extension). FLV files allow more precision controls for synchronizing other media or animations with video, as well as enhanced control over streaming video content via the Internet.
