Macromedia Flash (since renamed Adobe Flash) is the program used by The Brothers Chaps to create the Homestar Runner cartoons and games. It is also the software used by The Cheat to create the Powered by The Cheat cartoons. These games and cartoons can then be played using the Macromedia Flash Player included with most modern web browsers. Although the program has been renamed Adobe Flash, since Macromedia was bought out by Adobe, the version used by The Brothers Chaps is still attributed to Macromedia.
Though The Brothers Chaps generally use a PC to run Flash, The Cheat apparently runs the program on a Tangerine Dreams computer. It was also revealed at Flashforward 2006 (or rather, in the interview before Flashforward 2006) that TBC use Flash 5 to create their cartoons.

Appearances
The Macromedia Flash program on The Cheat's computer was first seen in the Strong Bad Email "crazy cartoon." The program also made an appearance at the beginning of Labor Dabor, and on Main Page 22. However, each of these appearances was only a momentary glimpse of the "Timeline" area of the program. The "Mixer" toolbox appears in virus when the Sketchbook button is clicked.
Flash Player
Most of the cartoons require version 6.0 of Flash to play, but some require version 7 (Stinkoman 20X6) and recommend 8. The FAQ recommends that you get the latest version of Flash, currently version 9.
