So they've released details about all the new upcoming Adobe (CS4) software and of course Flash is in with the mix! As much as it pisses me off that we can't just get a simple update the new Flash CS4 is looking mighty sharp and includes a new 'Inverse Kinematics' or bone feature that should make it even easier for animators to work with their characters.
Here's some videos the try to show some new features:

ahem... I dont want it
Oooh that looks nice.. do want
The people sound like they are watching porn. "Ohh niceee..." " Yeeessss..."
Yeah does sound like that crowd was the 'Adobe Crowd' as I don't ever recall sighing or moaning to any of their previous products...
I'm loving the new bones feature.
Me want nao.
More useless shit, nothing useful for FBF animators which are the only real ones anyways.
Thats the spirit.
I really do need an Adobe. So I guess I'll get this one.
that bone system is very good, but now any noob will make a worthy animation and everyone wont notice that he used that drag and drop shit instead of fbf -.- that sux for the ones that started using flash when it was 8-
I think what it will do is help animators create better content. There will always be the idiots that want to take a short cut but I'm sure we'll still notice.
wow..
Damnit, I just got CS3 >:O
oooh me getty laters
that looks amazing. the bone tool looks like it will make animations so much easier. ill be able to fit a character in one layer.
I think the new features look awesome.
With all the 3D (or 2.5D) functionality, I'm surprised that I can't see anywhere if there's the ability to use a camera. I guess maybe they want people to use After Effects for that kind of stuff :(
IK should be pretty damn cool, the new bush that allows you to paint a series of symbols is a great idea too.
"Estimated street price for the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium will be US$1799, US$1699 for Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium, US$1699 for Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, and US$2499 for Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection"
I was getting really excited until I read that :(
I don't care about that shit, tell me when I can pirate it. thats the real date we are looking for.
You can pirate it when you buy a boat, a parrot and remove one of your legs. Arr.
I got a hold of Flash CS4 trial and I really dislike what they did with the whole interface. It's completely and I say completely different. :S
These are incredibly old...like...november '06 old.
Seriously. They've been planning these for CS3 but too many glitches made them uncontrollable.
I'm unimpressed, also the kinetic system is exactly like pivot...
I wonder how mnay people are gonna make stick flashes without the sticks, LOLOLOLOLOLOOLOMZGLAZER RAVE!!!!
HolyPeanuts
Greedy bastards.......
