Simplify the creation of immersive experiences that present consistently across

desktops, smartphones, tablets, and televisions with Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5

software. Target the latest mobile platforms including Android™ and iOS. Efficiently

create content that targets multiple devices, copy and paste layers, and easily adapt

artwork for various sizes. Use more than 20 new code snippets, including ones

optimized for mobile and application development.

Digital content is no longer limited to the web browser on desktop computers. Today’s consumers access

the web practically anywhere on smartphones, tablets, and even in their living room on Internet-enabled

televisions. In an effort to reach targeted audiences across all of these kinds of devices, you are likely

faced with a variety of design and development challenges that include:

• Creating content that will display consistently across a range of devices that have dierent screen sizes

and resolutions

• Monetizing content by publishing it to the largest possible audience—across browsers on the desktop

or as standalone applications that run on Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS

• Innovating and expanding content beyond the desktop to devices like gaming platforms and new

Internet-capable televisions

• Keeping up to date with the constant stream of new devices, and testing and optimizing your content to

deliver great user experiences on these lower powered devices

Flash Professional, the industry-leading application for producing immersive interactive content, helps

you meet these challenges with a powerful creative toolset, an efficient development environment, and

support for the latest platforms and devices.

Visually inject ActionScript® code with the new pick whip in the Code Snippets panel. Use new code snippets that enable your project

to support mobile features, including accelerometer and gesture-based input.

Content scaling when resizing stage One of the most time-consuming aspects of designing content that is optimized for various screen sizes is scaling content to fit to every size. Designers spend much of their time adjusting a single design to work at multiple sizes. With Flash Professional CS5.5, you can choose to scale the contents of your file when you change the size of the stage. Everything on the stage, including symbols and motion paths across all scenes, are scaled.

Enhanced code snippets handling Flash Professional CS5.5 brings several key enhancements to the Code Snippets panel, offering quick and easy ways to add ActionScript 3.0 code to your projects: • Place your cursor over a movie clip placeholder in the code snippet, and a pick whip appears. Drag the pick whip to a movie clip on the stage to insert the instance name of your target movie clip into the code.
