What is the difference between flicker and flash?

Flicker is a website (can only be accessed in foreign countries), and flash is a technology.

There is no need to compare these two things together. Do you want to ask about the difference between flex and flash?

The following is a list of the differences between flex and flash

1. Flex is a tool for developers.

And flash is a tool for designers.

2.flex provides many components that can be applied directly, and there are also many free frameworks, which greatly improves development efficiency.

There are very few components provided in flash, and you basically have to make them yourself

3. About the as program:

The current versions of flex as2 and as3 support both , flex also needs to know the mxml language during the editing process. The as program can be written in the form of an as file, or it can be written in the form of a script in an mxml file.

In flash, the as2 program can be written on the timeline or component, or it can be written in an external as file. The external as file can be an as script or an as class file.

As for as3 programs, you can only write in the timeline, or write as class files. The official recommendation is to write class files. Don't ask why, the examples in the help are all class files, which can be seen. When writing an external class file, you only need to define the document class in the document properties to execute.

(Note: Flash 8 only supports as2.0, starting from Flash CS3, it supports as3.0)

4. About the development environment used by the program

Flash IDE is generally designed for individual operations (one programmer), and generally has relatively low requirements for programmers

flex is mainly designed for team development of professional programmers (multiple programmers), and requires high professionalism.

Flash programmers are generally divided into several types, including small-scale development, such as small games, small network applications, such as players, flash effects, etc. These programs can generally be operated by one person, using flash IDE can be done.

As for general large-scale development, such as flash online games (the more popular client-less online games nowadays), large-scale projects must use flex. Because it is usually developed by multiple people, and the project has a reasonable structure.

5. About development:

flex is generally only used for program development, because although flex has many components, it is impossible to create a beautiful user interface without artists. Therefore, it is generally a collaborative effort, and programmers and artists are indispensable.

Flash generally has no problem with small-scale development, but for large-scale development, flash alone cannot do it. As for how big it is, you can experience it yourself.

So, what can be developed with flex may not be developed with flash. In the same way, if flash can be developed, it is not necessarily impossible to rely on flex alone. Neither is absolute. But there is an intersection between them. It depends on the size of the project and the quality of the personnel.
