MACROMEDIA MX 2004 P PROFESSIONAL
Defining a Site in Flash MX Professional 2004įlash now includes version control capabilities on par with Dreamweaver. We include the Project panel because it is such an important addition to theapplication, and it is beyond us why it is not included in Flash MX 2004.
MACROMEDIA MX 2004 P PRO
The feature sets between the two versions are not radicallydifferent, apart from the addition of some very powerful components, videotools, streaming media components, and the Project panel in the Pro Edition. Flash MX Professional 2004 is aimed squarely at thehigh-end application developer market, such as those building e-commercesolutions in Flash. The version packaged withthe Studio is Flash MX 2004.
