Flash Applications

A Rich Internet Application (RIA) is a Web application designed to deliver the same features and functions normally associated with deskop applications. RIA applications generally split the processing across the internet divide by locating the user interface and related activity and capability on the client side, and the data manipulation and operation on the application server side.
