Flash 8 officially announced

Everyone new Flash 8 was being worked on but it has now been officially announced and it is possible to preorder from the Macromedia website.

Flash 8 has now been officially announced (along with Fireworks 8 and Dreamweaver 8), and along with the 'big new features', a number of smaller less impressive but, in some ways, more important things have also been added. You can check out the lesser known features of Flash 8 on Mike Downeys weblog.

I'm really glad Macromedia didn't ditch Fireworks like they did Freehand, as I am a big fan of it, and the new Fireworks features look very nice as well.
