message: Could be.
The entire article is littered with weasely adjectives and qualifiers, and there is a key fallacy in the premise that "Flash animation" rightly refers to anything that is not presented via the Flash renderer (swf) -- regardless of what software is used for production. A cartoon-style film produced using more elabourate tools (be it Toon Boom Studio, Anime Studio, or even some 3D program using a cel shading renderer) and output to video for web distribution (DivX, windows streaming video, etc.) should not be lumped together with the real-time rendered vector Flash animations.
Real-time vector rendering method should probably be isolated in this regard (is there any other format for this on the web besides Flash?), traditional video formats converted to the "Flash Video" format (flv) may qualify in a very broad argument.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.111.226.32 (talk) 20:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Least helpful entry on Wikipedia? 

message: Perhaps a small entry on the good and bad of using Flash on a web page?
Flash is beginning to fall out of favor since it's been discovered as a great way to track users and gain personal info about them.
Search engines can't read anything in them.  I'm sure a rookie web designer or small business owner would like to know that spiffy flash site they purchased from a template site will be indexed as a blank site by the SE's etc. . . . texxs (talk) 12:27, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good and Bad 

message: I'd like to start a section or subsection about the use of Flash to create feature films.  A few have been released, and more are on the way, among them a few interesting independent productions.  Here are the ones that I've found:
* Mucha Lucha - Heart of Lucha (USA, 2004)
*Mucha Lucha - The Return of El Malifico (USA - 2005)
*Golden Blaze (USA, 2005)
*Queer Duck: The Movie (USA, 2006)
*Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss (USA, 2006)
*Alice's Birthday (Russia, 2007) (screenshots)
*Jacked: Alien vs. the Bodies (Russia, 2007)
*Minushi (Canada, 2007)
*Nim's Journey (Sweden, 20??)
*Frogman (Japan, 2007)
*Christmas Is Here Again (USA, 2007?)
*Los Campeones de la Lucha - Australia (2007?)
*The Chosen One (USA,2007)
*Sita Sings the Blues (USA, 2008?)
The Fairly OddParents films (I'm not sure that they're flash-animated, but the show is so I'm assuming that they are as well) were only released on TV, and a few are on DVD.  The Russian films will be getting theatrical releases.  "Sealed with a Kiss" is all animated by one person and is currently in theatres (touring around the US) - apparently the creator used Moho, not just Flash (not what it is really as I've never used Moho).  "Minushi" is an independent production (all animated by one person) and may play in a few film festivals - the creator isn't sure right now and is talking with distributors.  "Nim's Journey" is a long-term independent project that is quite far from being completed.
Does anybody know of any more films?  I'd like to make sure that all the information is there before the section is added. Esn 00:30, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I have never ever read a good explanation on what Flash Animation actually is. How are the animation created? With a mouse, with a stylus and a graphic tablet or another way? What kind of hardware is used? Is flash the main definition on animation created directly on the screen? If not, what is the common name on this animation genre? How many genres can it be divided into? What is the main difference between Flash and similar stuff? Describing the program and in what way the animation can be used, is like talking about the cameras and how to use traditional cel animation, but not mention the animation techniques with a single word. 217.68.114.116 13:30, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Is it really that hard?

message: The studio that did the early 90s animated series "the Critic" claim they were the first series to use flash before it was even well known.
That makes no sense. There were no Flash comics in the early '90s, because Flash didn't even exist till December 1996, after Macromedia had acquired the Futuresplash Animator technology and released it as Flash 1.0. Zebulonn (talk) 20:33, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Regardless who, when, why or how anyone references KoolMoves in the Flash Animation wiki entry, someone removes it and marks it "RV advertising".  I am completely unaffiliated with KoolMoves short of the fact that I am an end user of the product and it is a wonderful, viable option to the other software listed in the wiki.  Why on earth do you people keep removing the link?  Yes, it is advertising the product, just as all the other links to other options are advertising thier products.  How is it remotely fair to remove one option but not the others?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.60.32.191 (talk) 16:15, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  KoolMoves as a viable option to other flash software 

message: Just a note about Macromedia developing Flash. Macromedia bought the program from a small group of developers who had marketed the software as "FutureSplash" with the file extension .spl. I have some animations with that file extension I created in 1996 and they can still play in the Flash player. There was no coding (actionscript), but the basic layout is still the same: vector drawing, layers, scenes, tweens (both motion and shape). The animations I did was a ballerina performing allegro combinations. I used this software for over a year before Macromedia acquired it. Its purpose was to provide animated content with a very small file size at a time when the most common connection to the Internet was dial-up with a 28.8 or 56k modem. The small file size was possible because of vector art capability as opposed to raster (bitmap) and the revolutionary player engine design.  Though Macromedia developed the application far above the simple original program, the basic form is still the same. I have consistently kept up with the Flash authoring software through all the versions until the Adobe buyout of Macromedia. FutureSplash should be noted in the development of Flash; its vector program, player engine, and tweening animations are still the base for Flash.
