Adobe Flash, or simply Flash, refers to both a multimedia authoring program and the Adobe Flash Player, written and distributed by Adobe, that uses vector and raster graphics, a native scripting language called ActionScript and bidirectional streaming of video and audio. Strictly speaking, Adobe Flash is the authoring environment and Flash Player is the virtual machine used to run the Flash files, but in colloquial language these have become mixed: "Flash" can mean either the authoring environment, the player, or the application files. Your application needs the programming code in order to run effectively. Download it after all it is free.

How do you get unbanned from stickam?
Apparently it's as simple as deleting the "Macromedia" folder
from your C:\Documents and Settings\(Your Profile name

This will not hurt your system. The flash player will simply create
the folder again when it needs it.
You must enable viewing hidden files and folders to do this.
For Vista users, there may be other Macromedia folders you may have
to delete, just do a search to be thorough.
