Flash 5.0/Generator 2 Developer Edition Upgrade by Macromedia

Description

Macromedia Flash 5 and Macromedia Generator 2 Developer Edition together offer the complete solution for designing and automating high-impact Web site graphics. Flash is a popular choice for producing high-impact, low-bandwidth Web experiences, and Generator is the data-driven solution for automating Web site graphics. Flash provides a broad range of design, assembly, and animation tools. Within the Flash user interface, Generator authoring extensions offer predefined objects like charts, tickers, tables, and lists–enabling you to design your site easily with data-driven graphics. Generator avoids costly static-content updates that require you to go into the authoring environment, make the updates, and push the pages live. When you modify content in your data source, the new information is reflected in your Flash Web site automatically, which drastically reduces maintenance time. Generator takes content, images, sounds, behaviors, and information that are stored in data sources, and uses variables to update a Web site automatically, and without additional engineering resources. Generator makes updates to your Web page when a user visits the Web site and requests personalized information, and when a change occurs to the database of information that's shown on your Web site. The flexible nature of Generator templates gives you the ability to customize the user's experience without having to recreate your graphics multiple times.
