Web Graphics and Animation

Overview

Increasingly, web designers now wish to incorporate more than text and static images in their sites. This can include relatively simple elements, such as animated text, images and buttons, as well as more sophisticated multimedia applications, such as tutorials and simulations. Software tools such as Macromedia Flash can put much of this functionality a directly into the hands of the web developer.
