• Industry-leading animation tools
  Create and edit motion tweens using the Timeline and Motion Editor, and use inverse kinematics to create natural motion for character animation.

• Advanced drawing tools
  Design artwork precisely and efficiently with smart shapes and powerful design tools.

• Advanced text engine
  Get global bidirectional language support and advanced print-quality typography APIs via the Text Layout Framework. Format text in columns and maintain layout with greater fidelity when importing content from other Adobe products.

• Filter and Blend effects
  Add interesting visual effects to text, buttons, and movie clips to create expressive content.

• Professional video tools
  Easily incorporate video into your projects, and convert video clips efficiently with the included Adobe Media Encoder application.

• Code Snippets panel
  Speed up project completion by using convenient prewritten code snippets for common actions, animation, multitouch gestures, and more. Also discover an easier way to learn the ActionScript 3.0 language.

• XML-based FLA source files
  Collaborate on projects more easily with a new XML-based implementation of the FLA file format. Uncompressed projects appear and act like folders, allowing you to quickly manage and modify assets such as images.

• Creative Suite integration
  Perform roundtrip edits of bitmap images with Adobe Photoshop CS5, import FLA files directly from Adobe InDesign CS5.5, and integrate closely with Adobe Flash Builder 4.5.

• ActionScript editor
  Speed up development with the built-in ActionScript editor that features custom class code hinting and code completion. Quickly grasp the fundamentals of ActionScript, and efficiently reference your own or external code libraries.

• Mobile content development
  Use Adobe Device Central to plan, preview, and test content for a wide array of mobile and consumer devices.

• Integration with CS Live online services
  Work more efficiently through integration with Adobe CS Live online services, including Acrobat.com, Adobe CS Review, and SiteCatalyst NetAverages.

• Cross-platform support
  Work on your operating system of choice: Mac OS or Windows.

• Expanded platform and device support
  Reach audiences on the latest Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR runtimes and on Android and iOS devices.

New features since CS5
Simplify the creation of immersive experiences that are presented consistently across desktops, smartphones, tablets, and televisions with Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 software. Efficiently create content that targets multiple devices.

• Expanded platform and device support
  Reach audiences on the latest Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR runtimes and on Android and iOS devices.

• Efficient workflows for mobile development
  Manage FLA project files that target multiple devices. Share code and assets across documents and device targets to efficiently create, test, package, and deploy content for a wide range of screens and devices. The New Project dialog box has been enhanced to include a Default Document section, which allows you to specify a document name, target player, and ActionScript version.

• Content scaling when resizing stage
  Save time when sharing symbols and motion paths across documents that are optimized for different screen sizes. With Flash Professional CS5.5, you can choose to scale the contents of your file when you change the size of the stage. Everything on the stage, including symbols and motion paths across all scenes, are scaled. There are also controls for limiting scaling to unlocked or visible layers.

• Enhanced layer control
  Preserve important document structure when copying layers across multiple files and projects. Copy and paste layers--including ones with motion and inverse kinematics armatures--to a different timeline or even to a different FLA document. You can also cut and duplicate layers, and even copy and paste folders.

• Symbol rasterization and better performance
  Use new tooling options, on-stage symbol rasterization, and the Property Inspector to improve CPU, battery, and rendering performance on mobile devices. Complex vector artwork can take a toll on the processors of mobile devices, degrading rendering performance. Flash Professional CS5.5 offers two new options that allow you to easily export content as bitmaps, which help enhance performance of your mobile content. The Convert To Bitmap command allows you to convert selected artwork on the stage to a bitmap. Once converted, the artwork is no longer editable in Flash Professional, although you can edit it in Adobe Photoshop software. The Export As Bitmap command is a display property that you can apply to movie clip symbols. With this setting enabled, chosen symbols are rendered as bitmaps on stage when the project is published, with the benefit that the symbol remains editable.

• Enhanced code snippets handling
  Use the new pick whip to preview and visually add more than 20 new code snippets, including ones for creating mobile and AIR applications, use of the accelerometer, and multitouch gestures. In addition, the code snippets themselves are formatted to help novice and inexperienced programmers parse the code and apply it quickly. Typographic formatting and rollovers indicate areas of editability.

• Streamlined Publish Settings dialog box
  Publish content quickly and more efficiently with a redesigned Publish Settings dialog box. Save time with a newly designed and more efficient Publish Settings dialog box, which you can now access directly from the Properties panel. Select multiple formats on the left and edit the corresponding settings on the right. New to the dialog box is the ability to publish a SWC file to a path of your choice without having to publish the SWF file. In addition, the dialog box now returns relative paths when selecting a publish destination so that files can be more easily shared across teams. You can also change the version of Flash Player, ActionScript version, and stage size directly from the Properties panel.

• Inverse kinematics pinning support
  Lock inverse kinematics bones to the stage and set stage level movement restrictions to selected bones. Create multiple spans per layer, and define more complex movement of armatures, such as walk cycles.

• Auto-save and file recovery
  Ensure consistency and integrity of your files, even after computer crashes or power outages.

• Incremental compilation
  Use asset caching to reduce the compile time of documents that use embedded fonts and sound files, and deploy rich content faster.

• Customer-inspired enhancements
  Benefit from numerous user-requested improvements, including improved controls for the Text Layout Framework.

• Seamless mobile testing
  Perform source-level debugging on Adobe AIR enabled devices that are connected with a USB cable, running content directly on the device.

• Flash Builder integration
  Create and open projects in either Adobe Flash Professional or Flash Builder. Roundtrip code and synchronize project settings between both applications.
