May 7th, 2012New support for HTML5:
· Leverage a new extension (available separately) to create interactive HTML5 content by building on core animation and drawing capabilities in Flash Professional. Export as JavaScript to target the CreateJS open source framework.
Sprite sheet generation:
· Export symbols and animation sequences to quickly generate sprite sheets that help improve the gaming experience, workflow, and performance.
Wide platform and device support:
· Reach Android and iOS devices by targeting the latest Adobe Flash Player and AIR runtimes.
Prepackaged Adobe AIR application creation:
· Create and deliver applications with a prepackaged Adobe AIR captive runtime. Streamline application testing and enable end users to run your content without additional downloads.
Adobe AIR mobile simulation:
· Simulate common mobile application interactions like screen orientation, touch gestures, and accelerometer to help speed up testing.
Stage 3D targeting:
· Turbocharge rendering performance by using direct mode to leverage the open source Starling Framework for hardware-accelerated 2D content.
September 19th, 2011Expanded platform and device support:
· Reach audiences on the latest Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR runtimes and on Android and iOS devices.
Efficient workflows for mobile development:
· Manage FLA project files that target multiple devices. Share code and assets across documents and device targets to efficiently create, test, package, and deploy content for a wide range of screens and devices.
Content scaling when resizing stage:
· Save time when sharing symbols and motion paths across documents that are optimized for different screen sizes.
Enhanced layer control:
· Preserve important document structure when copying layers across multiple files and projects.
Symbol rasterization and better performance:
· Use new tooling options, on-stage symbol rasterization, and the Property Inspector to improve CPU, battery, and rendering performance on mobile devices.
Enhanced code snippets handling:
· Use the new pick whip to preview and visually add more than 20 new code snippets, including ones for creating mobile and AIR applications, use of the accelerometer, and multitouch gestures.
· Streamlined Publish Settings dialog box
· Publish content quickly and more efficiently with a redesigned Publish Settings dialog box.
Inverse kinematics pinning support:
· Lock inverse kinematics bones to the stage and set stage level movement restrictions to selected bones. Create multiple spans per layer, and define more complex movement of armatures, such as walk cycles.
· Auto-save and file recovery
· Ensure consistency and integrity of your files, even after computer crashes or power outages.
Incremental compilation:
· Use asset caching to reduce the compile time of documents that use embedded fonts and sound files, and deploy rich content faster.
Customer-inspired enhancements:
· Benefit from numerous user-requested improvements, including improved controls for the Text Layout Framework.
· Seamless mobile testing
· Perform source-level debugging on Adobe AIR enabled devices that are connected with a USB cable, running content directly on the device.
Flash Builder integration:
· Create and open projects in either Adobe Flash Professional or Flash Builder. Roundtrip code and synchronize project settings between both applications.
Affordable subscription option:
· Get ongoing access to Flash Professional CS5.5 software for an affordable monthly fee. Choose a one-year plan for lower payments or a flexible month-to-month plan you can stop and restart as needed.
September 10th, 2010· This Flash Professional update includes several fixes to improve the opening of some legacy files and correctly saving them in the new XFL format for Flash Professional CS5.
