With it you can create interactive experiences, build web applications and embed videos in websites and blogs. The Text Engine gives you complete control over the text in your project. You get print-quality text that you can use in columns or bidirectionally. You can integrate other Adobe Creative Suite components like Photoshop and so enhance your productivity. The ActionScript Editing lets you increase your development speed and you can use custom class code hinting and code completion. XML-based FLA source files lets you manage and modify your projects by using source control systems and you can more easily collaborate on files. The Code Snippets Panel lets you use prebuilt code right into your project which makes it easier to learn how to use the program. The Object-based Animation Model gives you granular control over motion files. Advanced Native Drawing Tools lets you draw shapes and then transform those shapes into complex patterns and effects and you can animate 2D objects in 3D space with the 3D tools. The Inverse Kinematics feature lets you add realistic effects to your animations with the Bones tool. Video Improvements helps with video embedding and encoding and you can use on-stage video scrubbing and a cue points property inspector.
