Macromedia Flash is software you can use to create animations. Well, that's a bit of an understatement, rather like saying you can use the Oxford English Dictionary to look up words. It's a sophisticated tool that you can use, among many other things, for designing e-learning sites (if you're into instructional design) or web help (if you're a technical writer).
