Adobe Flash (previously Macromedia's Flash) is an interactive animation editing system, but is used for more and more applicatoins everyday including web video, games, animation, combining raster graphics, vector graphics in 2D/3D interactive applications. Flash and Director can be used to make so many different things it's difficult to describe. Both are absolutely awesome. Adobe Flash is a very common and powerful tool key to studying new media. WARNING: you should have at least a familiarity with both Freehand/Illustrator (vector graphics editing), Photoshop/Fireworks (raster graphics editing), before begining to learn Flash (html before hand as well would be even better). You'll be expected to know certain basics before you begin Flash. And in much the same was as it is painful to stop in the midst of studying calculus and having to go back and learn something from algebra, you should already know, before you can continue studying calculus, you'll find the same to be true while studying Flash.

Professionals who apply Flash in their work, typically have a solid understanding of editing raster graphics, vector graphics, and audio before they begin learning Flash (although the audio editing can be learned later).
