Adobe Flash Professional CS4 has the following new and improved features:
- New object-based animation that allows you to gain complete control over individual animation attributes by applying tweens directly to objects instead of to keyframes. Easily make changes to motion with Bezier handles.
- New 3D transformation where you can animate 2D objects through 3D space with exciting new 3D translation and rotation tools, which allow you to animate along the x, y, and z axes. Apply local or global transformation to any object.
- New procedural modeling with Deco and Spray Brush that allow you to apply symbols in a variety of ways: Quickly create kaleidoscope-like effects and apply fills using the Deco tool, or randomly spray symbols across any defined area using the Spray Brush.
- New ability to add metadata to SWF files using the new XMP panel. Quickly assign tags for enhanced collaboration and better mobile experiences.
- Now you can create inverse kinematics with a new Bones tool and create chain-like animation effects with a series of linked objects, or quickly distort a single shape.
- New motion editor where you can experience detailed control over keyframe parameters, including rotation, size, scale, position, filters, and more. Refine easing control with graphical displays similar to those in After Effects.
- Motion presets that allow you to jump-start your project with prebuilt animations that can be applied to any object. Select from dozens of presets or create and save your own. Share presets with others to save animation time.
- New integrated capability to publish to the Adobe AIR runtime, H.264 and XFL support.
