“Advanced authoring tool for interactive Flash content”

by Nick Mead about Adobe Flash CS5

Adobe Flash Professional CS5 is the industry standard software for for interactive Flash authoring.

Whether it is content for computers, mobile devices or large screen display installations, Adobe Flash Professional CS5 does it all. Adobe Flash Professional CS5 offers a professional development environment to help you create vector-based multimedia content for the web. From simple buttons and banners to complex online applications and streaming video, Flash opens up a world of infinite possibilities to the web developer.

At first glance, the user interface in Adobe Flash CS5 will seem very overwhelming for the newcomer, although the software comes with plenty of tutorials and guides to get you started. But for those already versed in Flash, the UI is a dream thanks to its drag-and-drop elements and customizable workspaces which allow you to pre-define the layout of all the various toolbars, timelines and panels.

Already loaded with a rich array of features for creating immersive web apps, Adobe Flash CS5 adds even more powerful tools than the previous version. There's a new text engine, a panel for ActionScript snippets, a packager to publish ActionScript pojects as iPhone apps, XML-based FLA files, and Flash Builder integration.

The great thing about Adobe Flash is the way it integrates with the other apps in Creative Suite 5. You can seamlessly import and export projects and content from the latest versions of Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Illustrator.

Adobe Flash remains a hugely important web design tool. And with the latest changes in CS5 it is becoming increasingly adaptable for developing powerful internet applications and rich content for mobile devices.

If you're at all interested in web development, you can't afford to be without Adobe Flash CS5.
