Flash Animation

Discontinued

This object type has been discontinued (as of the 20.11 release) as modern browsers no longer support the Flash format.

Scope

Purpose

Adobe Flash is was a popular format for providing animated videos or graphics in a format suited for on-line viewing through a web browser. The Flash Animation object allows you to embed a Flash-format (.swf) file on your Book Page.

Note that Flash has been largely deprecated, as developers (including Adobe) move to the lighter and more flexible HTML5 format.
