On Tuesday, September 23, 2008, Adobe will be releasing details on the upcoming Adobe Creative Suite 4… however, some leaked information on the new Flash package has been released already to the public. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have yet to hear that Flash CS3 will support export to Flash Player 10 which leads me to believe they are going to keep that option for Flash CS4 exclusively. On the other hand, at least with Flex 3 one could use the new SDK to compile out to the new version.

New features

  • Typed arrays (vectors)
  • 64-bit support
  • “Mobile convergence”
  • Hydra to use the GPU (if available)
  • New ‘object-based’ tween model
  • IK (Inverse Kinematics) Tweens
