Adobe Flash simply put is a multimedia platform that is typically used to add animation, video, and interactivity to web pages. Adobe Flash has the ability to capture user input and even runs off of its own language, ActionScript. Flash manipulates both vector and rastor graphics to provide animation of images and text.
But just what can Adobe Flash do for your website? Take a look at this awesome example of a site that uses Flash:
http://www.proyectiva.com/.
Pretty cool stuff. Obviously a site like this is far more interactive and fun to play around with than a website that simply has standard links, images, and text. On top of videos Flash is a common tool used to create games that can add interactivity to your website. One important thing to keep in mind when using Flash with your website is bandwidth issues. If a lot of Flash is used it can really slow down your site and frustrate visitors. Use Flash when it will be the most effective is generally a good rule of thumb.
With all of the hype surrounding HTML5 one topic that is always brought up is the issue of whether HTML5 will eventually replace Adobe Flash down the road. Here is an infographic that highlights some statistics relating to HTML5 and Flash:

It is obvious that at this point in time that Adobe Flash has the edge on HTML5. But will this advantage begin to shift in the upcoming months as HTML5 becomes more and more accepted? As of recent the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) actually replaced the need for Flash all together. In response to this Adobe has announced that it plans to introduce a new product titled Edge that supposedly is software that is being developed to combine the powers of HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and the Canvas tags that have been introduced with HTML5. It will be interesting to monitor the battle between these two in the upcoming months and see if anything major results. As for now Flash is still the dominant player and it appears that it isn't going away completely any time soon.
