I know alot of you use Flash so I thought I would create a thread about it.
As most of you probably know actionscript 3 was a giant leap for Flash but that was it as far as the difference between 8 and CS3 but for CS4 it seems like Adobe have had alot longer to play around with it and change some things. I would say its probably semi revolutionairy rather than evolutionairy.
Firstly the interface has had a collosal overhaul, it now seems alot more like photoshop than previous flash versions did. The interface generally looks alot more like photoshop but that isnt the main thing everything has been re-arranged into different places, again alot like photoshop. Its also a lot more advanced than before, there are many new options a few of which you can see in the screenshot.
Secondly the way you animate has completely changed too. You tween point to point and then you can add more points in where you want it to go, basically motion pathing is standard.
There are a few other things but Im going to play around with it some more.
Heres a screenie:
