There was even a funny animal speedster -- and The Terrific Whatzit
actually wore a duplicate of The Flash's own costume. The Flash had a straightforward
superhero origin, written by Gardner Fox and drawn by Harry Lampert. He
thereupon made himself a costume and embarked on a crime-fighting career
as The Flash. When it came time to give him a comic of his own, there was
a slight problem -- the anthology he'd started in was already called Flash.
The solution was to call his solo book All-Flash. The superhero trend eventually
ran its course, and Flash Comics was retired with its 104th issue, dated
Feb., 1949. By that time, All-Flash was long gone, and Comic Cavalcade had
dropped the superheroes and begun featuring Nutsy Squirrel, The Fox &
the Crow, and other funny animal characters. The new Flash also got his
super speed in a chemical accident but, in a slight twist, was inspired
to become a superhero by having read Flash Comics years earlier. In 1961,
writer Fox brought back ...
Green flashes are real (not illusory) phenomena seen at sunrise and
sunset, when some part of the Sun suddenly changes color (at sunset, from
red or orange to green or blue). The word ``flash'' refers to the sudden
appearance and brief duration of this green color, which usually lasts only
a second or two at moderate latitudes. There are several quite different
phenomena commonly lumped together under the name of ``the green flash'',
and this intermingling of disparate phenomena has fostered confusion. So
I prefer to say ``green flashes'' and avoid the definite article. There
is a distinct, but related, phenomenon that really deserves the term ``flash.''
In this much rarer display, a green flash of the ordinary kind is followed
(at sunset) by a brief ray or glow of green, which often appears to shoot
up from the sunset point. You have probably heard something about green
flashes, but may not have seen one. If so, you'll be happy to find that
a number of pictures of green ...
Although multimedia has its role on the Web, current Flash technology
tends to discourage usability for three reasons: it makes bad design more
likely, it breaks with the Web's fundamental interaction style, and it consumes
resources that would be better spent enhancing a site's core value. About
99% of the time, the presence of Flash on a website constitutes a usability
disease. Although there are rare occurrences of good Flash design (it even
adds value on occasion), the use of Flash typically lowers usability. If
Flash was cheap to produce and if all content creators could make a Flash
object as easily as they write a standard Web page, then perhaps many of
these problems would be alleviated. On June 3, 2002, we announced a strategic
partnership between Macromedia and Nielsen Norman Group to improve Flash
usability: we will develop the usability guidelines for Internet-based applications
in Flash MX. The version of Flash introduced in 2002 (Flash MX) has solved
many ...
In usability tests of 46 Flash applications, we identified several
basic issues related to Web-based functionality's ephemeral nature. Developers
are creating many of these applications using Macromedia Flash, because
traditional Web pages are better suited to what they were invented for --
reading articles -- than to the new goal of manipulating data objects. Flash
offers designers a way to create GUIs for Internet applications, making
interaction styles that support functionality beyond reading and browsing
possible. We tested 46 different Flash applications with users in the United
States, Germany, and Japan, and summarized the resulting lessons for Flash
applications in 117 usability guidelines. We calculated people's ability
to use the Flash applications based on two different ways of treating partial
success. In our feature-success calculation, we examined participants' ability
to use Flash application features and gave partial credit when users completed
some parts of ...
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. The software is ubiquitous on the Web, both because
of its speed (vector-based animations, which can adapt to different display
sizes and resolutions, play as they download) and for the smooth way it
renders graphics. Flash files, unlike animated but rasterized GIF and JPEG,
are compact, efficient, and designed for optimized delivery. Known as a
do-it-yourself animation package, Flash 4 gives Web designers the ability
to import artwork using whatever bitmap or illustration tool they prefer,
and to create animation and special effects, and add sound and interactivity.
The content is then saved as file with a .SWF file name extension. Web users
with Intel Pentium ...
