fla documents.Īnimate CC will continue supporting Flash (SWF) and AIR formats as first-class citizens.
In fact… all of the enhanced drawing tools and additional features that will be soon available can absolutely be used when targeting ActionScript-based. What does all this mean for Flash Player and AIR? Nothing has changed in terms of what can be accomplished with these targets in regard to previous versions of the application. Generally, most people in the community of users simply ever refer to the application as “Flash” anyhow… and none of this really makes sense any longer, given the platform agnostic nature of Animate CC. How confusing for users just starting their journey! The “Flash Professional” designation itself was always an odd one as it emerged when Macromedia decided to offer it alongside of a “Flash Standard” edition. Explaining to the reader the differences between such terms as “Flash Player” and “Flash Professional”… with the caveat that many resources they will encounter on their journey will simply refer to either (or even both) as simply “Flash”. In the opening chapter of my upcoming book, I spend a good deal time specifying terminology. To more accurately represent its position as the premier animation tool for the web and beyond, Flash Professional will be renamed Adobe Animate CC, starting with the next release in early 2016. As a point of clarity – to reinforce this renewed focus – Adobe has decided to rebrand Flash Professional CC as Animate CC.
Adobe cares very deeply about Flash Professional once again and wishes to restore it as the premiere animation and interaction tool – but now as a platform agnostic creativity application not restricted to any single platform. If you were able to attend those sessions, or any of the subsequent presentations I have given around the product, you will know that it has received a lot more resources, leading to many more enhancements over the past year. Flash Professional CC is now Animate CCįlash Professional has had a strong showing at Adobe MAX this year. There are a couple of applications which have not had updates made available during this milestone release… primary among those is Flash Professional CC. Adobe has announced the release of all new versions of the major desktop applications available through Creative Cloud.
