Based on settings specied by the designer in the Properties panel, the Deco tool, using and
applying algorithmic calculations to selected symbols in a process known as procedural
modeling, enables designers to express their creativity with dierent drawing eects:

Motion Editor panel
With the new object-based animation model in Flash CS4 Professional, keyframes take on a
new and signicant role. You can now experience granular, independent control over every
keyframe parameter, including rotation, size, scale, position, lters, and more, using the
Motion Editor panel. Oering even more command over the creative presentation of your
animations, the Motion Editor panel allows you to graphically control easing using curves.
Fine control over tweens was previously buried deep within Flash. Now, that power is
brought to the surface through the Motion Editor panel, which enables Flash users to
ne-tune animation parameters for each attribute. Advanced users will love this level of
control, and the fact that it looks and behaves much like the keyframe editor in Aer Eects
is an added bonus.
