Flash and CS5, what are your thoughts?

Posted: April 15th, 2010 in Blog.

So now that Adobe has announced the new features surrounding CS5 and Flash, I’d love to hear what you think about the product. I have yet to download the trial and start working with it, but I’ve been doing a lot of reading and it seems to me that Adobe is pushing and expanding Flash more than it ever has before. InDesign for example now integrates a lot of built in Flash pieces to publish animations.

Perhaps what I’m most looking forward to are the actionscript tools. I have yet to see the specifics, but from what I have read there are more tools built in to help write actionscript. I know that has been a major hurdle for most to cross and if there is some help there it would be much appreciated.

So what do you think? what have you read, heard, or experienced that helped you make the choice to upgrade, buy, or wait on CS5?

    Hi,
    I like your tutorials. The two main points you have got right are:
    The attention span for students is around 10 minutes.
    Examples can not be too simple. :up:
