"Flash has become a standard, it really is out there" says John Warnock, Chairman and CEO of Adobe Systems as he indicated that Adobe would join the growing ranks of web development brands, like Apple, Corel and Quark in supporting Flash, the standard for high-impact, vector-based web content.
In a keynote address to the Seybold Seminars Conference, Boston 2000, on 9th February, Dr. Warnock, gave an insight into its new technology that will support the Macromedia Flash standard in the forthcoming Adobe product and an upcoming version of Adobe GoLive.
The growing number of software companies embracing the Macromedia Flash Technology has not been a coincidence. Recent studies by NPD Online and IDC suggest that today, there are over 200 million people who can view the compact Flash format. An thus software products that export content as Macromedia Flash files are in ever increasingly high demand.
"We set out to make Macromedia Flash a standard and we are thrilled about the broad acceptance it has achieved," said David Mendels, senior vice president and general manager at Macromedia. "Now, with the distribution of the Macromedia Flash Player to over 200 million people around the world, and support for the Macromedia Flash file format from all of the leading companies in the design and publishing space, we are in the midst of a revolution in Web publishing. This broad support for Macromedia Flash will mean a more engaging, faster, and just plain better Web experience for Web surfers around the world."
Quark also has announced plans to develop an XTension to enable QuarkXPress users export Flash content. While in a separate release, Coral announced its support for the Macromedia Flash standard with the distribution of Macromedia Flash Player with CorelLinux and it's support in CorelDraw. This news arrived on the heels of another Macromedia announcement for a major upgrade to FreeHand, its popular illustration and design tool, with enhanced support for the Macromedia Flash format.
Late last year, Macromedia shipped Macromedia Flash Writer, the Flash export plug-in for Adobe Illustrator.
Macromedia Flash is the standard for high-impact, vector-based Web sites that deliver motion, sound, interactivity and graphics.
