Design with ease and efficiency: Bring your designs to life with intuitive new animation tools that make your work easier and more efficient. Streamline your workflow with an improved user interface and a powerful coding environment |
 |
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 paths with Bezier handles |
 |
Motion paths: Experience granular control over object animation paths - Adobe Flash CS4 Professional now automatically generates motion paths that can be easily modified using familiar Bezier handles |
 |
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 |
 |
Motion editor: Experience detailed control over keyframe parameters, including rotation, size, scale, position, filters and more, using the new motion editor |
 |
Powerful shape drawing: Manipulate vector shapes with powerful shape drawing tools. Easily bend, erase, distort, skew and combine vector shapes in a natural and intuitive way |
 |
Shape primitives: Easily create pie wedges, round off rectangle corners, define an inner circle radius and do much more. Visually adjust shape properties on the stage and create custom shapes with the included JavaScript API |
 |
Pen tool: Create precise vector illustrations with the Pen tool inspired by Adobe Illustrator software and then manipulate Bezier control points using Illustrator keyboard shortcuts |
 |
Shapes as objects: Toggle the object drawing mode to draw shapes as objects for easy visualization, the same way you would in Illustrator |
 |
Improved project panel: Work with multifile projects more easily with the new project panel. Apply property changes to multiple files, save symbols to a designated file folder when created and more |
 |
Improved library: Work with assets more easily, thanks to an improved library that includes search capability and prioritization |
 |
New Adobe Creative Suite interface: Boost your efficiency with intuitive panel docking and spring-loaded behaviors that streamline your interaction with tools throughout the Adobe Creative Suite editions |

Adobe Pixel Bender: Easily apply custom filters and effects at runtime for real-time creative expression |
 |
Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator import: Import Adobe Photoshop PSD and Illustrator AI files, while preserving layers and structure and then edit them in Flash CS4 Professional |
 |
Animation conversion to ActionScript: Instantly convert timeline animations to ActionScript 3.0 code that can be easily edited, reused and leveraged by developers. Even copy animations from one object to another |
 |
Animation copy and paste: Copy an animation that is applied to an object and paste it into any other timeline object, dramatically reducing time spent on animation development |
 |
Selective layer export: Experiment with different versions of the same file, manage complex layouts and save time by exposing only the layers you want to export and hiding the rest |
 |
Undo/redo options: Switch between Object-level Undo and Document-level Undo modes |
 |
Metadata (XMP) support: Add metadata to SWF files using the new XMP panel. Quickly assign tags for enhanced collaboration and better mobile experiences |
 |
Collaboration with Adobe Flex developers: Edit code in Adobe Flex and then bring it into Flash CS4 Professional for finishing and production. Import code-only ActionScript 3.0 SWC components developed in Adobe Flex Builder software. |
 |
Code collapse: Hide code from view by selection or tag so you can focus more easily on the code you are developing |
 |
Comment tags: Use easy menu commands to apply comment/uncomment tags to entire lines or any section of code. This Script Editor feature remains consistent across both Adobe Flash CS4 Professional and Dreamweaver CS4 software |
 |
Code error navigation: View a list of code errors in a separate panel that is automatically generated when performing tasks such as check syntax, test movie, test project, debug movie, or publish |
