It all started with one idea — the notion that drawing on a computer could be as easy and expressive as drawing on paper. In 1996, that idea became software, and that software became Flash®, the industry standard for creating interactive digital content. Today, Flash is a complete multimedia development environment used to create everything from rich Internet applications to mobile device content.

Around the world, the Flash community is uniting in celebration of a decade of Flash, but we're not stopping there. We're also looking ahead toward an even more inspiring and innovative future. We hope you will join us by exploring this collection of information and resources on the amazing history and promising future of Flash.
