Features
Flash CS3 Interface
The Flash user interface now shares a design
and layout common to Photoshop and Illustrator,
resulting in a more efficient workflow. Tools can
be configured in one- or two-column panels.
Panels can now be docked along the edge of the
monitor, or minimized to icon view, so that they
can fly out when needed, freeing valuable screen
area. Even the Timeline can be docked.

Drawing Enhancements
Drawing in Flash is now consistent with other
Adobe software. The enhanced Pen tool behaves
similarly to the Adobe Illustrator Pen tool, with
tighter control over vertices and control points.
Two new vector drawing primitives, Oval and
Rectangle, offer easily adjustable alternatives
to the Ellipse and Rectangle shapes, and can
be manipulated by using the Property Inspector.
