In 2006, Adobe Systems bought Macromedia. The Adobe Engagement Platform is the announced name of the product line resulting from the merger of Macromedia Flash with Adobe Acrobat.

There are five pieces to the platform's architecture. The universal client (principally Adobe Reader and Flash Player), server-side components, application architecture frameworks (such as Cairngorm), development tools (such as Dreamweaver and Adobe Flex), and the Adobe Solutions Network partner community.
