Supercharge your Internet Browser with FLASH!
(it's free, it's fabulous and it's everywhere)

YOU REALLY DO WANT FLASH!MOST internet users have Flash already built into their internet browser or computer's operating system.

How to check to see if you have FLASH: Scroll down to the bottom of this page and look for the animation. If you don't see it, it was for one of two reasons:
  1. You're part of the minority of Internet users without a Flash-compatible browser.
  2. You browser is fine, but it or your ISP was stuck processing some other information. If this is the case, you should be able to see animation after hitting your "refresh" button.

If you don't have Flash capabilities, go to the bottom of this page to learn how to get it (it's VERY easy).

Why Should I Want Flash Capabilities?

If you want to have a BLAST at Firegirls.com, you'll need Flash to look at our INTERACTIVE IMAGES, our ANIMATION and our EROTIC COMIC BOOKS. Furthermore, there are MANY other sites out there that use Flash to create the most advanced entertainment and information sites on the web, including: shockwave.com, jibjab.com, pulpphantom.com, spumco.com, joecartoon.com and others.

What is Flash?

Simple Answer: Flash adds impressive animation, graphics and functional capabilities to Internet web sites and browsers. In general, web sites created with Flash components load faster, look better, and offer far greater interactivity and function than traditional web sites.

Technical Answer: Flash (also known as Shockwave) is the internet standard for vector-based web interfaces, a technology invented by Macromedia, Inc. (MACR on Nasdaq).

How Do I Get Flash on My Computer?

Naturally, one solution is to upgrade your existing browser or operating system to one of the versions listed above (or for that matter, just go buy a new computer).

But the universal means of aquiring Flash/Shockwave capability is to click on the button below and download a FREE player from Macromedia, or upgrade the existing Flash module within your browser. In most cases, the installation is automatic (you don't have to do anything), you won't even need to sign off or restart your computer!

Once you've visited www.macromedia.com, you should be able to return to our home page, click the "REFRESH" or "RELOAD" button on your browser, then begin seeing animation on the web like you've never seen it before.
