Adobe enhances Flash in impressive revamp

clipped from www.pcworld.ca SAN FRANCISCO (05/07/2007) - Flash CS3 Professional, the first version of Flash released under Adobe's aegis, is arguably the most dramatically enhanced program in the new CS3 suite. Flash has two interacting components: ActionScript, Flash's powerful programming language, and the timeline-based stage, Flash's unique design environment for generating vector-based (scalable) animation. My only complaint with Flash CS3's predecessor -- Macromedia Flash Professional 8 -- was a lack of really exciting innovations in the design aspects of the program. I no longer have that complaint. The most exciting new features in Flash are on the design side, along with some fine-tuning and nice small enhancements in the coding environment.
