What’s New

Flash Professional CS5.5 makes it easier to reach audiences on the latest Flash Platform runtimes, 
including Flash Player 10.2 and Adobe AIR 2.6; you can also reach audiences on Android™, 
BlackBerry, iOS,webOS, and Adobe Digital Home devices.

•  Deliver to desktop computers. Take advantage of the ubiquity of Adobe Flash Player within 

browsers and of Adobe AIR® on desktops to deliver content that displays more consistently across 
operating systems and browsers. 

•  Deliver to mobile devices. Deliver content that plays back on millions of devices worldwide, and 

reach audiences on smartphones that run Android and webOS. Use the Adobe AIR for iOS 
Support tool, included with Flash Professional CS5.5, to compile ActionScript® bytecode into 
native iPhone application code, which can be distributed via the iTunes store.

•  Deliver to tablets. Produce immersive content optimized for tablet devices. Take advantage of 

touch input and gesture-based actions that enhance readers’ experience. 

•  Deliver to Internet-enabled televisions. Extend the reach of your content with immersive 

experiences and applications that run on Adobe AIR 2.5 and Adobe Digital Home.

New templates, including those for AIR for Android, are available from the New From Template dialog box in Flash 
Professional CS5.5.

Preparing content that displays optimally on screens of different sizes and resolutions is a continual 
challenge for designers. Flash Catalyst now enables you to deliver layouts that specify how objects 
respond when the application window is resized. Using on-object controls, you can specify how 
each object will move or stretch, and then preview the results by resizing the artboard directly 
within Flash Catalyst.

For designers who want to choreograph their own transitions between states, new animation options 
such as transformation point controls, auto-reverse, and font sizes within filter effects provide precise 
control. You can also save and reapply your custom transitions across effects and objects.

What is Flash Catalyst?
Leverage your skill with Photoshop,
Illustrator, or Fireworks to trans-
form static artwork into expressive,
interactive content for the web, or
rapidly prototype user interfaces
for websites and applications—all
without writing code.
Design simple projects, such as an
interactive portfolio site or product
brochure, that you can complete
yourself in SWF format. Begin by
importing a design comp created in
Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks
into your Flash Catalyst project.
Use easy-to-understand menu

commands to convert individual
elements into functional interac-

tive components such as buttons,
sliders, and scroll bars. When you’re
finished polishing your interactive

content, you can add it to web pages,
embed it in a PDF file, or run it as a

self-contained Adobe AIR application

directly on the desktop.
To tackle more complex projects,

such as building out application logic

or linking to back-end services or
data, use Flash Builder 4.5 to collabo-

rate with your developer.
