Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5.5 software is the industry-leading authoring environment for producing expressive interactive content. Create immersive experiences that present consistently to audiences across desktops, smartphones, tablets, and televisions.

Features:

Create once, deploy virtually anywhere

Efficiently manage multiple FLA files that target various devices and platforms. Use Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5 software to create content for desktops, smartphones, tablets, and televisions.

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.

Content scaling when resizing stage
Save time when sharing symbols and motion paths across documents that are optimized for different screen sizes.

Enhanced layer control
Preserve important document structure when copying layers across multiple files and projects.

Streamlined Publish Settings dialog box
Publish content quickly and more efficiently with a redesigned Publish Settings dialog box.

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

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

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.

Integration with CS Live online services
Work more efficiently through integration with Adobe CS Live online services 1, 2, including Acrobat.com, Adobe CS Review, and SiteCatalyst® NetAverages™.

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

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

Design with expression

Clearly communicate your creative vision and exceed expectations with typographic precision, layout fidelity, and expressive motion-editing capabilities in Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5.5 software.

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

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.

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

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

Object-based animation
Gain control over individual animation attributes, and apply tweens directly to objects instead of to keyframes. Easily make changes to motion with Bezier handles.

3D transformation
Animate 2D objects through 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 transformations to any object.

Spring for the Bone tool
Add expressive, lifelike animation properties — like spring and bounce — with motion attributes for the Bone tool. An improved inverse kinematics engine provides more realistic and complex physics movements within a simple, familiar interface.
