Flash @ CSM

I had the chance to attend a workshop Adobe put on a few months back called Flash Camp where I got a copy of Flash CS4 and some previews from Flash Community leaders on what has changed in this newest release of Flash. In this release of the Flash IDE, Macromedia had been bought by Adobe (the sale was finalized right around the time of the release of Flash CS3) and the Flash engineers had the opportunity to meet and plan with the Adobe engineers and integrate many of the features that had been exclusive to Adobe only tools previously. So many things have changed in Flash CS4. One of  the key things is how tweening occurs. The first time I sat down with Flash CS4 it took me 15 minutes to figure out how to tween, its just that much different. However its a whole lot better now.

I came across this video screencast showing the new tweening techniques in Flash CS4. I’ll show this video in class on Wednesday thing week (probably at the very beginning of class). But if you miss it or want to have a second look, here is the link: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs4/video/motiontweens_cs4.htm
