Re: FLASH: freehand 9 - thought you guys might be interested.

[John Dowdell]

This release of FreeHand 9 is particularly attuned to the needs of Flash

developers... cool and useful stuff includes:


--  quickly lay out and arrange entire multipage storyboards for Flash

animations


--  SWF export includes transfer of symbol libraries


--  the live perspective and enveloping add critical tools to the existing

mirroring, hose, roughen and the rest


--  the new magic wand and autotrace combo quickly makes hi-fi vectors


--  the new blending abilities and new release-to-layers options offer very

different types of Flash animations


--  it's easier to design undisplayed material for Flash printing


--  your work can quickly flow out to SWF, or to good HTML, or to PDF, or

to printers, or to a variety of other tools



In addition to the Macromedia showcase, Ian Kelleigh has a new article:

The Live Perspective needs to be seen to be believed... I believe this will

help in many graphic effects in Flash.
