Dreamweaver is a software tool for creating websites and applications. It also enables web developers and designers to create and manage websites easily. It has a fantastic combination of application development tools, visual layout tools and code editing support.
Adobe Flash is a program used to add animation and interactivity to web pages. Flash manipulates graphics to animate drawings, images and text and contains an Object-oriented language called ActionScript. Flash is a preferred tool with web designers because they can have games, moving pictures and interactivity on pages that download quickly.
