An initial exploration of Adobe CS3 series secret: Flash CS3

Ado

Flash is the first member of the "Three Musketeers" 8.0 series to adopt a new creative Suite 3 interface. This is definitely an improvement for the Macromedia Interface (Dreamweaver and Fireworks CS3 are still continuing to use the Macromedia Interface). Because, in the Macromedia interface, messy panels tend to make users difficult to fit.

The animated tools (Flash) that are being watched on the web also borrow some innovative tools from illustrator and Photoshop--but more importantly, the introduction of PSD and AI files, which, after all, are more useful than Flash as an art tool. This flash also included bridge resource management tools and version cue versioning systems for small teams.

Unfortunately, Flash does not use the After Effects timeline, although the timeline after effects is faster and provides more fine-tuning control. Adobe acknowledges that after the effects system is more complete, it also points out that accepting a new timeline will be a huge challenge for older users who often use flash.

More powerful flash drawing function

Flash 8 's drawing tools are inferior to illustrator and Photoshop and other major professional-level design tools. Flash CS3 "borrows" the pen tool in illustrator and after effects, allowing you to control the point and line Bézier curves.

Of course, the new version also includes a number of other new drawing tools, such as smart shapes, that can be very simple to control complex graphics such as wheels, pie-wedges, and nine-slice charts (see fireworks for more details). But if you're used to using illustrator and Photoshop, sketching is going to be a painful thing for you. In addition, the input tools in Illustrator and Photoshop are also better than flash built-in input tools.

File Import

We can easily import components from Photoshop and illustrator into Flash CS3. Flash CS3 can be shared with Illustrator, and all graphics in Illustrator can be imported to the Flash CS3 after they are saved or copied.

When you import AI and psd files into Flash, an import window automatically jumps out, showing a large number of control usage information for a single component. You can choose which layers to import, determine their format, name, edit status, and so on.

A new scripting language

Test content with the powerful new ActionScript debugger, which provides excellent flexibility and user feedback as well as consistency with Adobe flex™builder™2 debugging.

ActionScript 3.0 requires Flash Player 9 to run, and Adobe has disclosed that it runs 10 times times faster than the old code, and that it is also very studious and easy to debug, Because this language is attached to a standard programming language (JavaScript based) ECMAScript.

Create interactive content for ActionScript 3.0 with a new, lightweight, and easy to set appearance interface component. You can use the drawing tools to visually modify the appearance of a component without encoding.
