Flash MX 2004 Pro Educational Version
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Flash mx professional 2004 contains the following new features:
Flash MX Based Forms
Build applications in a familiar forms-based development environment that's similar to other visual development tools, such as Microsoft Visual Basic. Design a form, add components, and build application navigation and logic with ActionScript.
Forms
Data Connection Features
Create dynamic data-driven applications using data sources such as web services and application servers. Using data connection components you can quickly connect to a data source simply by entering the URL to the data source. Once the data is returned, you can use the data bound components to display the data or manage it in a local record set.
Data Bound Components
Quickly build application interfaces using data bound components. Display data returned by a web service or application server simply by binding the data to the components in your application. You can connect to a data source and display the data returned without writing a line of code.
Advanced Components
Build sophisticated user interfaces with additional advanced components such as a data grid, calendar, menu, an accordion tabbed pane, and many more.
Project Panel and Source Control
Easily manage and publish all files to your site through a single view in the Project panel. Synchronize project files in Flash MX Professional 2004 with your source management system through a variety of options: the pre-built Microsoft Visual SourceSafe integration; an API to connect to your source control system of choice; or file-level locking on either a local, network, or FTP file system.
Flash Video Exporter
Export video directly to Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 from within leading professional video-editing and encoding tools such as Avid Xpress/Media Composer, Apple Final Cut Pro, Discreet Cleaner, and Anystream Agility. The Flash Video Exporter provides FLV video export capabilities to all applications on the desktop.
Improved Video Encoder
Produce targeted bandwidth video streams with enhanced image quality by using the improved video encoder. Options include variable bit-rate (VBR), selectable motion estimation quality, de-interlacing, and high-quality scaling.
Media Components
Quickly incorporate video into projects without learning advanced scripting by using Streaming Media Components. Set basic parameters such as file name and cue points to trigger interactivity.
Mobile Phone and Device Development Tools
Produce content for a growing number of desktops, devices, and mobile phones by taking advantage of MIDI ring tones support, templates, and test device emulators.
Slides
Create sophisticated presentations using slides, which make it easier to organize content, establish transitions between states, and sequence animation and interactive elements. Easily sequence presentations without coding by using Slide properties and the Transition behavior.
