Create and deliver rich interactive content
Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software is an industry-leading authoring
environment for creating engaging interactive experiences. New object
based animation tools based on Adobe Illustrator metaphors make
working in Flash easier and more intuitive for beginning and expert
designers alike, while powerful, new design tools expand your creative
possibilities. Flash is the place to bring it all together and deliver
to wide audiences.

Creative Tools
Flash Professional has many creative tools to help create better
animations and effects. These include the FlashType font rendering
engine, filters, blend modes, custom easing control, ActionScript 3.0,
a new Bones tool for inverse kinematic animation, and an object-based
animation mode.
Adobe File Import
Import documents from Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects, and
Illustrator into Flash with complete layer information intact. Select
specific layers to import and edit text layers from within Flash. Use
the new XFL file format to exchange work between CS4 apps.
Video Options
Flash Professional features the high-quality H.264 video codec. A
standalone video encoder is included, the Adobe Media Encoder,
providing access to advanced video options including alpha channels
and embedded cue points.
Device Central
Device Central is designed to help developers create Flash Lite
applications for display on mobile phones, PDAs and other portable
devices. Device emulators will show exactly what the Flash project
will look like on a specific mobile device, going so far as to emulate
its processing power and memory. Control the application using a
clickable interface that reproduces buttons and controls on emulated
device. The included library of devices is limited to those that
support Flash Lite.
For Flash Player updates, see [Flash Player 10.0][1] and [Flash Player
10.1][2].
Though all Creative Suite apps and suites met the end of their
extended support on May 31, 2019, and Adobe has informed all previous
customers that [their licenses have been withdrawn][3] on May 10,
2019, activation servers for Flash CS4 should still be online.
