A Flash Content Management System (Flash CMS) is a Content Management System specifically design designed to create and manage Adobe Flash Content. The main purpose of a Flash CMS is to generate Flash content within a browser environment. To qualify as a Flash CMS an application must be able to manage text, images, sound, movies, animations and actions. All editing must be done in a way that no programming skills are needed to use the application. Output generated by a Flash CMS should require the Flash Player.

A Flash CMS is NOT a Flash based application that generates HTML pages.

A Flash CMS can be a standalone product or it could be an add on to an existing Content Management System.

There are different levels of Flash CMS and different targets

- Simple Level, Predefined templates where users can use custom images and texts to generate slideshows.

- Advanced Level, Users can start with a blank sheet and add media, animation and navigation within the flash.

- Target Consumer, main purpose is to help people add flash content to their MySpace and Facebook sites.

- Target Business, main focus is integration with or replacement of traditional Content Management System
