Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 
What’s New
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.
•  Use more than 20 new code snippets, including ones for creating mobile and AIR applications, for 
accelerometer, multitouch gestures, and save/load data.
•  Upon selecting a snippet from the Code Snippets panel, you can view a description or preview 
the underlying ActionScript code on a heads-up display (HUD) before you apply it.
In addition, the code snippets themselves are formatted to help novice and inexperienced 
programmers parse the code and apply it quickly. Typographic formatting and rollovers indicate 
areas of editability.
Flash Professional CS5.5 includes more than 20 new code snippets, including ones for mobile and AIR application 
development. The pick whip tool appears when you position your mouse over a movie clip placeholder in the code.
Streamlined publishing and document settings
Save time with a newly designed and more efficient Publish Settings dialog box, which you can 
now access directly from the Properties panel. Select multiple formats on the left and edit the 
corresponding settings on the right. New to the dialog box is the ability to publish a SWC file to a 
path of your choice without having to publish the SWF file. In addition, the dialog box now returns 
relative paths when selecting a publish destination so that files can be more easily shared across 
teams. You can also change the version of Flash Player, ActionScript version, and stage size directly 
from the Properties panel.
The Document Settings dialog box also features a new Auto Save feature, which automatically 
saves your file at specified intervals, on a per-document basis.
