Flash CS4 (DESIEL) Features:
- new stage rendering core built on Player 10
- can see live video at authoring time
- better WYSIWYG on stage, less need to preview
- easier timeline use
- tweening bezier adjustment: no more keyframes (wow)
- 3D-style bones in shapes *and* movie clips
- inverse kinematics (wow)
- “Animating bones in Diesel (Flash CS4) is going to be as easy as tweening any other object.”
