Software Skills: Processing vs Flash

Processing vs Flash

Processing:

"Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Initially developed to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing also has evolved into a tool for generating finished professional work. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production."

Flash:
Flash CS5.5 also contains several features to improve mobile app workflows across devices. Some examples are: Content scaling and stage resizing, copy and paste layers, sharing symbols across FLA files, symbol rasterization, incremental compilation, auto-save and file recovery, and integration with CS Live online services.

Interface:

 

Processing:

The interface on processing displays a blank whit page where you type in coordinates  or code to create a shape or line, these coordinates or codes can also determine the width  and height of the shape as well as the colour and  size of the line or shape and also where the shape of line will be placed.

Flash: 

The interface on flash is  a simple one displaying a blank white page  with tool bars down either side, this allowes you to use set tools to create shapes and lines or you can draw it yourself, as well as allowing you to change colour of the line or shape. Flash also allows you to animate the shape or line and displayes a animation bar either at the top or bottom  of the screeen.
