Macromedia Flash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Flash can retain information locally (in a manner similar to, but more extensive than, browser cookies), giving the client the ability to, for example, remember the level or score a user has achieved on a Flash-based game, or the settings used on a previously visited website. |
 | | Since Flash files do not depend on a truly open standard such as SVG, this reduces the incentive for non-commercial software to support the format, although there are several third party tools which utilize and generate the SWF file format and a large and vibrant open source community. |
 | | Macromedia has made the Flash Files specifications for versions 6 and later available only as a PDF under a non-disclosure agreement, but is widely available from various sites. |
