In its heyday, being a Flash developer was a skill much in demand. Flash also allowed sites to embed video content and even create slick, highly interactive games too. It added animation and a much higher level of interactivity than the then-current HTML used for Web page markup. It’s hard to believe, but Adobe Flash has been around since it debuted in 1996 as “Macromedia Flash”.
