Background

Macromedia Inc. was formed in 1992 from a merger between Authorware Inc. (makers of Authorware) and MacroMind-Paracomp (makers of Macromind Director). Macromedia's best known products include the Flash, Dreamweaver and Fireworks computer programs. In 2005, Macromedia was acquired by Adobe Systems, Inc. (best known for the Photoshop, Reader/Acrobat, Premiere, After Effects and other products), and all of Macromedia's products are now under the Adobe name.
