Quickly create and edit animations--Gain complete control over individual animation attributes with object-based animation, applying ‘tweens’ directly to objects instead of keyframes. Easily make changes to motion with Bezier handles.
3D Transformation--Animate 2D objects in 3D space with exciting new 3D translation and rotation tools, which allow you to animate along the x, y, and z axes. Apply local or global transformation to any object.
Bones, Deco and Spray Brush tools--Add that extra something to your interactive content with these user-friendly tools. Create chain-like animation effects with a series of linked objects or distort shapes with the new Bones tool. Easily add patterns or kaleidoscope-like effects and apply fills using the Deco tool. Add a ‘spray’ of symbols to a defined area at random (e.g. stars to an area of sky) for a unique look with the Spray Brush.
When you use the Bones tool to establish relationships between symbols, Flash CS4 creates an Armature layer, which allows you to fine-tune the IK behavior. Click to enlarge. |
