.What is Flash ?
Flash, a popular authoring software developed by Macromedia, is used to create vector graphics-based animation programs with full-screen navigation interfaces, graphic illustrations, and simple interactivity in an antialiased, resizable file format that is small enough to stream across a normal modem connection.
It is a vector-based animation technology. Flash animations are quick to download, are of high quality, and are browser independent (they look the same on different browsers). Flash animations also scale to fit the browser window. Flash animations are created using Macromedia Flash software.
.Do Flash movies affects my Search Engine rankings?
In theory Google can index Flash movies, but we don't think Flash movies/content gets very indexed very well. With things being as competitive as are right now for keyword/key-phrases optimization we don't recommend using them. However, if Flash annimation is important to you and you're up to the challenge, go for it.
