This refers to Macromedia Flash - namely Shockwave.
We
use Shockwave extensively in website design authoring. While some
websites require only a flash entry page, others require Shockwave
components only, and yet others are fully Shockwave interactive.
We
use Flash 5 and can place either animated components into static
pages or create fully Shockwave functionality. There are plenty
of ways to design Shockwaves - we have learned to keep the file
sizes as low as possible while delivering the right effect.
Multiple
Shockwave can be generated and run off each other or interactively
as well. It really depends of the design layout of your website.
