Flash Animation:

The logo above is an example of eye candy that uses Flash animation. Its purpose is to add motion - to attract attention. If used in the correct place in an html page attention can be attracted to an important message. This animation requires about 36KB largely because of the background image. Another example on this alternate page requires only 14.2 KB.

Flash 8 brings functionality well beyond a little eye candy. Follow the links below to find other ideas.

A more extensive example can be found on the Flash version of the entry page to this site. Take a look.
