Adobe Flash helps you build interactive websites, instructional media, engaging presentations, rich media advertisements, games and more. Designers and developers working on both Macintosh and Windows systems depend on Flash and the ubiquitous Adobe Flash Player software to ensure their content reaches the widest possible audience.
Here are some key features of "Adobe Flash Professional":
New support for HTML5:
· Leverage a new extension (available separately) to create interactive HTML5 content by building on core animation and drawing capabilities in Flash Professional. Export as JavaScript to target the CreateJS open source framework.Sprite sheet generation:
· Export symbols and animation sequences to quickly generate sprite sheets that help improve the gaming experience, workflow, and performance.Stage 3D targeting:
· Turbocharge rendering performance by using direct mode to leverage the open source Starling Framework for hardware-accelerated 2D content.Advanced drawing tools:
· Design artwork more precisely and efficiently with smart shapes and powerful design tools.Industry-leading animation tools:
· Create and edit motion tweens using the Timeline and Motion Editor, and use inverse kinematics to create natural motion for character animation.Advanced text engine:
· Get global bidirectional language support and advanced print-quality typography APIs via the Text Layout Framework. Maintain layout with greater fidelity when importing content from other Adobe applications.XML-based FLA source files:
· Collaborate on projects more easily with an XML-based implementation of the FLA file format. Uncompressed projects act like folders, allowing you to quickly manage and modify assets.Creative Suite integration:
· Perform roundtrip edits of bitmap images with Adobe Photoshop CS6 software, and integrate closely with Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 software.Professional video tools:
· Easily incorporate video into your projects, and convert video clips efficiently with the included Adobe Media Encoder application.Filter and Blend effects:
· Add interesting visual effects to text, buttons, and movie clips to create expressive content.Object-based animation:
· Gain control over individual animation attributes, and apply tweens directly to objects instead of keyframes. Easily make changes to motion with Bezier handles.3D transformation:
· Animate 2D objects through 3D space with exciting 3D translation and rotation tools, which allow you to animate along the x, y, and z axes. Apply local or global transformations to objects.Spring attribute for the Bone tool:
· Add expressive, lifelike animation properties — like spring and bounce — with motion attributes for the Bone tool. A powerful inverse kinematics engine provides realistic physics movements.Deco drawing brushes:
· Add advanced animation effects with a comprehensive set of brushes for the Deco tool. Create movement for particle phenomena like clouds or rain, and draw stylized lines or patterns with multiple objects.Easy video integration:
· Streamline video embedding and encoding processes with on-stage video scrubbing and the cue points property inspector. See and play back FLV components directly on the stage.Inverse kinematics pinning support:
· Lock inverse kinematics bones to the stage, and set stage-level movement restrictions to selected bones. Create multiple spans per layer, and define more complex movement of armatures, such as walk cycles.Unified Creative Suite interface:
· Boost your efficiency with intuitive panel docking and spring-loaded behaviors that streamline your interaction with tools throughout Adobe Creative Suite editions.Precise layer control:
· Preserve important document structure when copying layers across multiple files and projects.Platform and device-specific access:
· Use prebuilt native extensions that provide access to platform- or device-specific capabilities, such as battery level and vibration.Adobe AIR mobile simulation:
· Simulate common mobile application interactions like screen orientation, touch gestures, and accelerometer to help speed up testing.ActionScript editor:
· Streamline development with the built-in ActionScript editor that features custom class code hinting and code completion. Efficiently reference your own or external code libraries.Code Snippets panel:
· Help speed up project completion by using convenient prewritten code snippets for common actions, animation, multitouch gestures, and more. Also discover an easier way to learn ActionScript.Seamless mobile testing:
· Perform source-level debugging on devices that support the Adobe AIR runtime and are connected with a USB cable, running content directly on the device.Efficient code snippets handling:
· Use the pick whip to preview and visually add more than 20 code snippets, including some for creating mobile and AIR applications, using the accelerometer, and adding multitouch gestures.Flash Builder integration:
· Work more closely with developers who can use your FLA project files with Adobe Flash Builder to test, debug, and publish your content more efficiently.Requirements:
· Intel Pentium 4, Intel Centrino, Intel Xeon, or Intel Core Duo (or compatible) processor
· 512MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
· 2.5GB of available hard-disk space (additional free space required during installation)
· 1,024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card
· DVD-ROM drive
· QuickTime software required for multimedia features
· Internet or phone connection required for product activation
· Broadband Internet connection required for Adobe Stock Photos and other services
Limitations:
· 30-day trial
· Nag screen
