Softpedia Editor's Review for Adobe Flash CS5.5 Professional
|
Create effective rich content and applications across desktops and devices
Written by Elena Opris on October 21st, 2011
Adobe Flash CS5.5 Professional 11.5.1 is a multimedia tool which you can use to create rich and interactive content for digital, web, and mobile platforms.
Choosing to download Adobe Flash will redirect you to Adobe.com where you can select your desired language, and download the trial version. But before installing the actual software itself, you need a little tool called Adobe Download Assistant.
Once that part is complete, enter Adobe Download Assistant. You are required to enter your Adobe ID (creating one doesn't require you to confirm email, but it sure takes some time to get it done).
In the following step, you must select the folder where you wish Adobe Flash to be installed, then wait some more time → software failure → restart software → software failure → restart software again → installation begins (it seems that Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium did not like the location we had chosen for it in Program Files).
To make matters worse, just when the installation is 100% complete, the progress bar jams (we had to pause and un-pause to get it to the “extracting” point).
Anyway, after the whole process is completed, you can finally enter and user Adobe Flash. New features found in this software include an expanded platform and device support, efficient workflows for developing mobiles, content scaling during a process of resizing, as well as an enhanced layer control... a lot of awesome stuff!
Among favorite features we must mention the animation tools (Timeline, Motion Editor, inverse kinematics), advanced tools for drawing, advanced text engine, and Filter and Blend effects that will help you create stunning visuals.
All in all, Adobe Flash CS5.5 Professional 11.5.1 is a great software tool which you can use to create amazing animations with top of the line special effects. Highly recommended for web developers, visual artists, and other fans of the genre.
