Adobe Flash / Animate
Adobe Flash, now known as Adobe Animate, is a versatile multimedia authoring and computer animation program developed by Adobe Inc. Originally released in 1996 as FutureSplash Animator, it was later acquired by Macromedia and rebranded as Macromedia Flash. Adobe acquired Macromedia in 2005 and continued developing the software under the name Adobe Flash until 2016, when it was rebranded as Adobe Animate.
