Future Wave’s Smart Sketch subsequently develops into Flash:

Development of Adobe Flash: 

This idea has been begun in 1995 when the internet was getting in the latest scope, dimensions and people at FutureWave realized the requirement of vector-based animation software to the competitor of Macromedia’s Shockwave. The company has given names it FutureSplash. After enormous progress cost, outlay, and time, the product was offered to Adobe and Microsoft. By the end of 1996, Macromedia bought the complete software and released it as Flash, an amalgamation of “Future” from Future Wave and “Splash”. 

Until mid-2007, Macromedia benefits from the production of this innovative software which changed the impression and harshly looks of the Internet. From online advertisements to entire and exclusive websites to games, Flash was used in with its ease-full interface. Later on, Macromedia has owned Adobe and release Flash under the name Flash CS3 with ActionScript 3.0, which brought a new and latest aspect in the applications of Flash. The vector graphic and editing facility was improved and enhanced by assimilating Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. 

Microsoft Company Endeavor to Opponent Flash: Silverlight: 

Microsoft initiates and launched rival technology to Flash they called Silverlight under the codename of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Previously it was released as a video streaming plug-in for browsers but afterward changed into a development tool with interactivity features and interfacing for .NET languages. While a person should be grateful for and congratulate Microsoft’s proposal and ideas of breaking flash’s market and monopoly. But this idea seems not outstanding so far, it seems very much far, because Flash is so much powerful and prevailing that it pushed back to the large extent a player’s like Real Player, QuickTime, and other proficient movie files.
