Flash was developed by Macromedia and then acquired by Adobe well into its maturity.

      At the time it was purchased the company was primarily two brothers from Ann Arbor. Might have had one or two employees.

      Flash was already quite popular when Adobe acquired Macromedia. I knew of at least one "Flash competitor" project that fizzled out internally before they decided to buy.
