To more accurately represent its position as the premier animation tool for the web and beyond, Flash Professional will be renamed Adobe Animate CC, starting with the next release in early 2016.

For more information, see this blog post Welcome Adobe Animate CC, a new era for Flash Professional | Adobe Flash Professional Team Blog by Rich Lee, Senior product marketing manager.

I’ve been developing flash ads for about 15 years and like most people I have recently moved over to creating HTML ads.

At the moment Flash Pro canvas is not a great solution for the creation of HTML based ads which is why a lot of people I know have moved over to Adobe Edge Animate. It looks like Edge is now becoming the standard for the creation of HTML ads but since Adobe has now canned it, will Adobe Animate CC be better than the current Flash Pro version at creating HTML ads?

If it feels like the HTML Canvas export is just an add-on, an after thought to give Flash Pro some relevance and to me it seems like madness not to develop Edge Animate separately as a dedicated HTML AD production tool.

I could be wrong, Adobe Animate may have been redesigned and creating ads will be as simple as it currently is in Edge, we will just have to wait and see.
