Flash's extreme popularity comes from its small file sizes and accessibility. Flash has the capability to take an amazing animated movie and compress it into a size small enough for use on the Internet. Compared to video streaming, Flash is a much more efficient and effective way to package material. Also, Flash movies are easily played on almost all computers. Many computers come packed with the Flash plug-in, and it is an easy download for those machines that do not. Flash is the industry standard of its field.
