New interface: FLASH is no longer a simple web animation tool, and all intents indicate that it is trying to develop its own platform. Obviously, the flash interface has been dramatically developed from its previous version. You can feel it at a glance. It keeps the entire Adobe toolbar. The program icons are now integrated together.
One of the many obvious new features of the user interface a variety of panels can be hovered, grouped and minimized. If you choose to dock them to other panels, you can compact them until they become icons. Click an icon to open the middle Panel or panel group. When your focus is elsewhere in the workspace, there is also a bar button on/off panel on the icon.
Toolbars can now be made into all the tools in one column instead of two. As before, you can customize the layout of your workspace. Here are my typical settings, leaving the biggest stage space for the design work. I like to draw and animate with more spacious screen space. In fact, I like to set the resolution as high as possible, and most of the time I set my 17 notebook to the 1920 x 1200 display resolution. This will allow me to work on the flash stage in a larger working format, expanding to 400%. I've found that drawing with brushes and line tools can create more operational skills.
You can save a lot of different layouts that you like, which is useful when you work on several different tasks. As you read the following chapters, you will learn more about the new interfaces, rendering methods, and comprehensive features provided by Adobe CS3.
