Line 4: [[File:Adobe Flash Player 32.svg\|350px\|thumb\|right]] '''''Adobe Flash''''' iswas a vector graphics animation software program developed by Macromedia (based on an earlier program by Macromedia purchase FutureWave) and later added to Adobe's series of professional graphic applications under their merger. Initially called Shockwave Flash, it was designed to create smooth line-art animations and interactivity for web-based projects (basically, Illustrator, but with the 4th dimension added). It introduced its own coding language, Actionscript, and has its own standalone player software as well. The "Shockwave" brand was something of an [[Artifact Title]] even from the beginning. See, Macromedia had an existing product called "Director" that was more mature and did some of the same things, and they had developed a browser plugin called "Shockwave" to let people view Director movies directly in their browser. After Macromedia bought FutureWave, they positioned Flash as something of a "Director Lite", most likely to protect Director sales. Flash proved popular, however, and eventually they dropped the Shockwave branding. Line 20: Not to be confused with the [[A Worldwide Punomenon\|brick-walled]] [[Flash\|superhero of the same name.]] See also [[Web Animation]], [[Web Games]] and [[Thick Line Animation]]. If you're looking for a list of websites that require Flash in order to work at all, see [[:Category:Flash Content]]. {{examples\|~~Series/Films~~Works that used ~~this~~Flash ~~program~~include:}} == Web Comics == * ''[[Awkward Zombie]]''▼ * ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120105043552/http://as.crowdedstreet.net/Something/ Burning Stickman Presents...Something!]'' was a [[Sprite Comic]] made in Flash, with animated comics occasionally, typically on 100 comic milestones.▼ * Most of the ''Dumm Comics''▼ * ''[[Gastrophobia]]''▼ * ''[[Keychain of Creation]]''▼ * ''[[Knite]]''▼ * ''[[Homestuck]]'', which releases Flash animations every 50 comics or so.

It is the only instance of ''Family Guy'' done in Flash, in order to save time. * ''[[Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman]]'' * ''[[Fish Hooks]]'' Line 49 ⟶ 78: * ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]'' * ''[[Home Movies]]'' - Season 2 and onward. * ''[[Huntik: Secrets & ~~Seekers\|Huntik Secrets and~~ Seekers]]'' - The first season was all done in traditional animation. The second season, however, alternated between traditional and flash, with over half of the episodes being in flash. * ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes\|Jimmy Two Shoes]]'' - in combination with Toon Boom Harmony * ''[[Johnny Test]]'' - the later episodes were made in Flash. Line 62 ⟶ 91: * ''[[Mucha Lucha]]'' * ''[[My Life Me]]'' * ''[[My Little Pony: ~~Friendship Is Magic\|My Little Pony~~ Friendship Is Magic]]''. Notable for the high quality of the animation. The creator of the show, [[Lauren Faust]], specifically picked an animation studio that could make the animation look like traditional, and was adept at animating four-legged animals. The movements look surprisingly natural, as opposed to the less natural movement that often plagues flash animated shows. * ''[[Neighbors From Hell]]'' * ''[[Out of Jimmy's Head]]'', and the television movie it was based on: ''Re-Animated''. The cartoon characters were made in Flash in both cases, but the TV show was done by another studio. * ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'': The show is usually traditionally animated with digital ink and paint instead, but there are rare moments where the animation is instead animated with Flash, such as in "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown Hosted by Kelly Osbourne." ''Take Two with Phineas and Ferb'', a talk show hosted by the title characters where they interview various real-life celebrities, also uses this program. * ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' had several scenes done in this style; its first appearance is in the Yodel-Odel-Obey Me sequence in "Bubble Boys". The rest of the show is mostly animated with the similar [[Toon Boom]].<ref>albeit in [[Synergy Animation\|Chi]][[Hong Ying\|na]], [[Wang Film Productions\|Taiwan]] and [[Rough Draft Studios\|South Korea]]</ref> ** Also, its used as the primary animation tool for Phineas and Ferb's one-minute talk show they host with celebrities on the Disney Channel. * ''[[Pound Puppies]]'' (2010 series) * ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' used it for the final episode, ''The Powerpuff Girls Rule!''. This episode was noticeably different from the entire rest of the series, partly because of the animation, and partly because of the [[Non Sequitur Scene\|fast-paced, random gags.]] Line 82 ⟶ 110: * ''[[Spaceballs]]: The Animated Series'' (and boy, does it ever look it) * ''[[Speed Racer: The Next Generation]]'' * ''[[Superjail]]'' -: Praised by animation fans as using an extremely early version of the program to get very fine lines to make the whole thing look like it's animated on paper, with ''literally'' a new drawing every frame! * ''[[Supernews]]'' * ''[[Spliced]]'' Line 88 ⟶ 116: * ''[[Three Delivery]]'' * ''[[Time Warp Trio]]'' * The ''[[Total Drama Island\|~~The~~ Total Drama]]'' series * ''[[Ugly Americans]]'' * ''[[Unsupervised]]'' * ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' -: The pilot was done in Flash. The rest of the show is not. * ''[[Wakfu]]'' -: Notable for certain episodes that are ludicrously well-animated, even as the quality of animation [[Art Evolution\|continues to improve]]. * ''[[Wayside]]'' -: like ''[[Johnny Test]]'', the later episodes were made in Flash. * ''Where Ma' Dogs At'' * ''[[Wilbur]]'' -: The main program features puppets, but Flash is used for the book-reading segments. * ''Wild Animal Baby Explorers'' -: the main program is high-definition "3-D" CGI (with nature footage presented as live-action), but the characters' [[Imagine Spot]]s are presented in Flash. * ''[[Word Girl]]'' * ''[[Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!\|Wow Wow Wubbzy]]'' * ''Yakkity Yak'' * ''[[Yin Yang Yo!~~\|Yin Yang Yo~~]]'' * ''[[Carl Squared]]'' ~~{{examples\|Webcomics drawn in Flash}}~~ ▲* ''[[Awkward Zombie]]'' ▲* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120105043552/http://as.crowdedstreet.net/Something/ Burning Stickman Presents...Something!]'' was a [[Sprite Comic]] made in Flash, with animated comics occasionally, typically on 100 comic milestones. ▲* Most of the ''Dumm Comics'' ▲* ''[[Gastrophobia]]'' ▲* ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'' ▲* ''[[Knite]]'' ▲* ''[[Homestuck]]'', which releases Flash animations every 50 comics or so.
