Macromedia heeft aangekondigd dat Flash 5 in september wordt uitgebracht. De nieuwe versie heeft een gebruiksvriendelijker inferfeesje waardoor het eenvoudiger wordt om Flash filmpjes bij elkaar te klikken. Voor de volledige versie moet 399 dollar neergelegd worden en een upgrade kost 149 dollar:
Designers will immediately be comfortable working in Macromedia Flash 5 because of its familiar industry standard user interface (see separate release), new creative tools, and seamless integration with Macromedia FreeHand and Fireworks. Macromedia Flash 5 application developers will benefit from ActionScript—a complete JavaScript-like language for creating interactivity, and support for XML data interchange. Professional design firms that need to produce high volumes of Macromedia Flash content will benefit from the tight integration with Macromedia Generator Developer Edition for automating Macromedia Flash production workflows for increased productivity.
[...] Macromedia Flash 5 is immediately more accessible due to the newly redesigned user interface that simplifies the process of inspecting and editing Macromedia Flash content. A new Bézier pen tool in Macromedia Flash 5 complements the product's innovative natural drawing tools and enables traditional illustrators accustomed to technical drawing tools to easily work within the authoring environment. Macromedia FreeHand users will benefit from the ability to import native FreeHand files directly into Macromedia Flash, maintaining the design integrity of the file. Another new addition to the authoring environment is "Smart Clips," components of complex interactivity such as user interface widgets or multiple choice forms that can be shared, reused, and customized for any Macromedia Flash development need. Publishing features in Macromedia Flash 5 ensure that authors can easily deploy content for the huge installed base of Macromedia Flash Players and also add new functionality for exporting content for synchronized playback in RealNetworks' RealPlayer.
For developers, Macromedia Flash 5 significantly extends the capabilities for creating ActionScripts that build sophisticated interactivity into Macromedia Flash content. The syntax and structure for writing ActionScript is now the same as JavaScript, which is familiar to the majority of Web developers. A new ActionScript editing environment dramatically reduces development time. Shared Symbol Libraries let teams of users on a project organize and reuse shared media assets across a project. The Movie Explorer enables users to see all the components in a project and their relationships, in an intuitive hierarchical structure.

Macromedia Flash 5 is also tightly integrated with Macromedia Generator, the solution for delivering dynamic visual content. The Macromedia Generator 2 Developer Edition, available bundled with the Macromedia Flash 5 upgrade at a special price, is the data-driven solution for automating the production of Macromedia Flash Web sites by separating design from content, which reduces maintenance time and increases productivity.
