Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium 

What’s New

Flash Professional CS5 uses an XML-based implementation of the FLA file format called XFL, 
offering improved cross-product integration and workflow productivity. This compact and efficient 
file format both accurately maintains data in a Flash document and makes the individual elements 
easier to manage and use.

For example, an image that is currently used in a Flash project could be checked out of a source 
control system, updated, and checked back in. The next time you open the FLA project file, you 
would instantly see the updated image without having to manually import it into the project.

With better support for multiuser environments and cross-product compatibility, the XML-based 
format in Flash Professional offers the following benefits:

•  The uncompressed format allows several users on a team to work on the same project  

simultaneously—no more having to split the project into multiple FLA files.

•  Integration with source control systems is now possible because each team member can work on 

separate assets in the XFL package, eliminating the need to resolve differences.

•  Mobile developers can work on the same files as other developers. (In the past, mobile content 

could not load other SWF files.)

Using XML-based FLA source files, Flash Professional CS5 provides a richer environment in which 
to exchange data with other Web Premium components including Illustrator and Flash Catalyst, as 
well as other Creative Suite software such as Adobe InDesign, After Effects®, and Encore®.

The change of the file format structure from FLA to XFL is transparent, allowing you to work with  
project files in the same way, only with more control.

Develop code faster with an improved ActionScript editor, including custom class code hinting and 
code completion. If you’re a novice developer, you can start projects and let code hinting assist you 
as you learn the fundamentals of the ActionScript language. Flash Professional CS5 can also 
automatically write import statements, so if you’re a more experienced or advanced developer, 
you’ll appreciate being able to quickly reference your own code or external code libraries.

For web professionals and marketers who need to implement web analytics, Adobe Creative Suite 
5 features extensions that integrate with the robust optimization and analytics capabilities of 
Omniture SiteCatalyst and Test&Target (available separately).

Omniture SiteCatalyst provides marketers with actionable, real-time intelligence about online 
strategies and marketing initiatives. Omniture Test&Target gives marketers the necessary 
capabilities to continually make their online content and offers more relevant to their customers—
yielding greater conversion. Both SiteCatalyst and Test&Target are part of the Omniture Online 
Marketing Suite of applications for online business optimizations.

The SiteCatalyst extension, available for Flash Professional CS5, enables you to create, import, or 
export services, and to apply and edit trackers without code.

The Test&Target extension, available for Flash Professional CS5 and Dreamweaver CS5, enables 
you to perform a variety of tasks including creating and importing campaigns, managing 
experiences and offers, and tracking success metrics.

In their uncompressed format,  
FLA files enable multiple users to  
work on the same projects.
