Today Lee Brimelow has posted new video which shows the most important features of Flash CS5 Professional. You can watch the video on gotoAndLearn.com This material is over 27 minutes long, it was really fun to watch because for me it was a dream come true (Thanks Adobe). I was so happy when I saw those new features I wanted to dance around the room :P Adobe really started to listen to the community! Below I post some most important features of an up coming release:

• iPhone capability, with Flash CS5 you will be able to publish app’s for iPhone (learn more),
• the start up window wont display on top of every application (I am so glad they finally though of this),
• snippets panel for ActionScript coding,
• Flash Builder integration, now you can hit cmd/ctrl+enter in Flash Builder and it will automatically switch to flash and compile,
• code completion for custom AS classes in Flash IDE,
• new xfl format, instead of fla you can save project to xfl and all the data of your project will be stored in xml files,
• new skins for the video player,
• text field character embedding panel,
• advanced text field options, really cool features (column etc.).

Those are the new features I remembered after watching Lee’s video. Can’t wait to try it out, I think I am more excited about CS5 then CS4 :) The only think that bothers me is that under the save as option I haven’t see the Save to: Flash CS3  :/ I hope they will implement this.

P.S Please tell me what you think!

UPDATE: Sad news was just posted on Flash Platform Blog, there will be no Beta version of Flash CS5, read more.
