Main Features
Object-based animation - Gain complete control over individual animation attributes with object-based animation, which applies tweens directly to objects instead of to keyframes. Easily make changes to motion with Bezier handles
3D transformation - 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.
Inverse kinematics with the Bones tool - Create chain-like animation effects with a series of linked objects, or quickly distort a single shape using the new Bones tool.
Procedural modeling with Deco and Spray Brush - Turn symbols into instant design tools. 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.
Motion editor - Experience detailed control over keyframe parameters, including rotation, size, scale, position, filters, and more, using the new motion editor. Refine easing control with graphical displays similar to those in Adobe After Effects software.
Motion presets - 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.
Authoring for Adobe AIR - Deliver interactive experiences to the desktop with new integrated capability to publish to the Adobe AIR runtime. Reach even more audiences across more devices - web, mobile, and now the desktop.
Metadata (XMP) support - Add metadata to SWF files using the new XMP panel. Quickly assign tags for enhanced collaboration and better mobile experiences.
XFL support - Open content from Adobe InDesign or After Effects software and retain file integrity. With the cross-application XFL format, easily import content for further development in Flash.
H.264 support - Encode to any format recognized by the Adobe Flash Player runtime with Adobe Media Encoder, the same tool found in other Adobe video products and now with support for H.264.
