Flash Professional is now Animate CC
Flash had been widely accepted as a vector based program.Best part was that it provided small file size which is actually the main concern when creating animations.Files being small in size could easily be transferred and uploaded to the internet.Flash also became widely accepted on the Internet.Many sites stated using flash since it supported all browsers.
Then with the launch of IPhone and smartphone in 2007 came a big wave of crisis. IPhone decided to reject the use of flash player. Suddenly there was all sorts of rumors that flash is now dead. Flash player was rejected but people thought Flash Professional was rejected. Flash was always confused with flash player and flash builder now the name Animate give it a unambiguous identity.
