Motion Presets panel
Being ecient is a large part of being a successful designer or developer. To this end,
Flash CS4 Professional provides a library of prebuilt animations to jump-start your project.
A huge time-saver, motion presets are easy for anyone to create and use.
To dene a motion preset, right-click on any object that has a tween applied to it, and
choose Save As Motion Preset. To use a motion preset, simply select any symbol on the stage,
choose a preset from the Motion Presets panel, and click Apply. Individual users who spend
a lot of time with repetitive application of motion can increase their productivity through
the use of motion presets. Additionally, motion presets can be shared or distributed to an
entire team of users, enhancing team collaboration and consistency.
Authoring for Adobe AIR
Adobe AIR, the technology that makes Flash
experiences on the desktop possible, is now
built into Flash CS4 Professional. By
extending Flash beyond the browser with
custom desktop experiences and branding opportunities, Adobe AIR introduces exciting new
methods for delivering interactive content. Using a new setting in the Publish dialog box,
Flash CS4 automatically bundles all the necessary les to create an Adobe AIR application.
Adobe AIR allows you to leverage local desktop resources and data to deliver even more
personal and engaging experiences. With the same skills you use to deliver to Flash Player, you
can now reach even more audiences across more devices—web, mobile, and now the desktop.
XFL support
Adobe Flash CS4 Professional introduces support for XFL, a le format that allows for
improved integration across the Creative Suite 4 family. Users can now easily export content
from Adobe InDesign and Adobe Aer Eects to Flash. With XFL support, InDesign and
Aer Eects users have new opportunities to begin using Flash.
For experienced creative professionals, XFL support means being better able to meet
constantly changing production demands. While we know that print itself isn’t dead, we
also know that many designers are faced with providing content that appears both in print
and on the web. Designers can now use Adobe InDesign to design their content for print,
and then painlessly use XFL to export their layouts for use in Flash. is adds an entirely
new dimension to cross-media publishing and is a practical solution for publishing houses
that want to expand their print publications to new media.
Metadata support
As more and more digital content lls your hard drives and servers, it becomes increasingly
dicult to quickly nd the les you need. Metadata plays an important role in solving this
problem by making les “smarter” about the content they hold. With metadata, nding the
right content at the right time not only becomes easy—it also enables a level of collaboration
that was not previously possible.
Adobe has played an active role in the support of metadata by helping to dene and develop
the Extensible Metadata Protocol (XMP) standard. Components of the Adobe Creative Suite
