The industry’s choice for advanced interactive content creation
Flash® Professional 8 is the industry’s most advanced authoring environment for creating interactive
websites, digital experiences and mobile content. With Flash Professional 8, creative professionals design
and author interactive content rich with video, graphics, and animation for truly unique, engaging websites,
presentations or mobile content. A major product release for Macromedia, Flash Professional 8 has many
brand new features including:  amazing graphic effects, integrated and stand-alone video encoding
complete with support for alpha transparency, high-quality text rendering with advanced anti-aliasing
control, improved text tools, and a new video plug-in to export Flash Video (FLV) files from professional
video products.
User Experience
Flash Professional 8 includes
a major focus on usability
enhancements so developers
can work more efficiently without
the application getting in the way.
Script Assist (formerly Normal Mode)
Normal Mode is back, only it’s much
better. Script Assist provides a visual
user interface for editing scripts that
includes automatic syntax completion
as well as descriptions for the
parameters of any given action.
Advanced library
With multiple files open, the library for
each open file will be consolidated into
a single panel that acts like all other
panels in Flash—it stays where it's put.
Navigate between open libraries more
easily using the new drop-down list at
the top of the library to access any other
open library.
Video and Mobile
Flash Professional 8 offers
continued momentum to the
rapidly expanding Flash video
platform and new functionality
for mobile content developers.
Higher-quality video codec
Flash Player 8 adds a new, far more
advanced video codec. This codec
provides superior video quality that is
competitive with today's best video
codecs at a much smaller file size.
Alpha channel support
Support for a real alpha channel
at run-time. This revolutionary new
capability provides the unique ability
to overlay video composited with a
transparent or semi-transparent alpha
channel over other Flash content.
Create dynamic presentations such
as splashing water, smoke and fire
effects, as well as presenters shot
in front of a blue screen.
Expressiveness
With the release of Flash
Professional 8, interactive
content designers can express
their creativity in incredible
new ways.
Filters
Create more compelling designs with
built-in filter effects like drop shadow,
blur, glow, bevel, gradient bevel, and
color adjust. Filters are visual effects
applied to MovieClips and text fields
and are natively supported and
rendered in real time by Flash Player.
Blend modes
Going well beyond what other design
tools offer, Flash 8 Professional offers
run-time control over blend modes,
allowing graphical effects to be
composited for fully dynamic user
interactivity.
