With Flash CS4, you can import Photoshop .psd files and Illustrator .ai files and preserve the layers, then edit them locally in Adobe Flash CS4. Flash also now lets you customize the files during import with advanced import options.
The Flash video exporter has new features which improve the ease of creating and manipulating video in Flash. These features include deinterlacing right in the exporter and better file management and customization. Flash CS4 has motion export, which you can use across projects or import into Flex Builder 3. When creating motion tweens in Flash CS4, you can right click on an asset, copy the motion, and then apply it to other assets on the stage, or even objects in other projects!
You'll definitely be able to save time with the new ActionScript 3.0 which features better performance, more flexibility, and more intuitive and structured development.
When creating animations, you can convert timeline animations directly into AS3.0 code that can be edited, reused, and sampled. You can now even copy animations to apply to one object from another!
