Flash: Adobe’s (originally developed by Macromedia) client-side competitor to Java. Its download is about 1.2 MB, compared with 3 MB for Shockwave, and 14 MB for the Java run time. It was initially designed to do rapid animations with very small downloads. Now it has been extended to handle data entry and database lookup functions. Macromedia decided to use fluffy XML as their transport protocol to the server. The downloaded files typically have the extension *.swt. Test your Flash installation.
