Flash animation is the term used to create movement films using Adobe Flash or any similar animation software. Flash animations are more commonly distributed through the World Wide Web and are often referred to as online cartoons or webtoons.
Animation
Basically, animation aims to communicate something. Attraction tricks apply greatly to moving images by giving it some action, a pause for viewer to absorb it, then some new action. Appearing and disappearing tricks give a dramatic twist by changing something from existence to non-existence. Blinking effects should be used as little as possible because they are rather unsubtle. Another animation trick is anticipation and overshoot where an object backs up a bit before moving in the desired direction. Timing tricks are also essential. You should only allow enough time for actions to occur and not overdo some animations.
Cycling background colors for websites
Whether it’s a rapid or gradual shift of background color in your website, this should be highly avoided. It makes it impossible for viewers to focus on the text or objects laid over the background. As much as possible, stick to one color and maintain it that way. No need to animate the background. As the term implies, it should be the least noticed as it lays the ground for other things that you want your viewer to ultimately take notice of.
Although using flash animation can be exciting, it should not be overused and overwhelm the whole appearance of a site. It doesn’t mean that because you are aware of a lot of animations, you should put them all in. Appropriate animation should be given to the appropriate elements or objects.
