It’s a couple of days I’m using Flash CS4 and then I express here my first words.
I state that my MAC OS is Leopard.
The first thing that jumps to my eyes is the new Adobe style interface, it seems to work with Photoshop.
While Flash CS3 had some Macromedia style, Flash CS4 has panels and colors typically Adobe.
Select and drag panels are much more fluid and natural.
Highly customizable interface.
I really appreciate the new dragging system to change numeric values:
During Adobe Extension Manager installation it has imported automatically all my components I had in pevious version.
I also have to say I do not like the new Help system. It does not reside anymore in local but it is on Adobe website only.
Crap…this is so slowly for consulting.
New built-in components ? No one ( sad ).
Possibility to work with Actionscript 2.0 and of course Actionscript 3.0 .
Also we can save FLA files for CS3 version but not for Flash 8 and previous versions.
Built-in templates have remained Advertising only.
About Tweens and animations on the timeline, Flash CS4 goes certainly a step forward.
Indeed, the Motion Editor and the new Timeline is certainly substantial differences that stand out compared to version CS3.
A Flash Designer will certanly appreciate these new features.
Stay tuned because it will fine!
