Adobe Flash Professional CC 15.0.1 for Mac
Mac VideoAdobe Flash Professional CC 15.0.1 for Mac was Adobe's authoring tool for interactive animation, used for web cartoons, banner ads, games, e-learning and early mobile content. Animators drew vector characters directly in the app, animated them on a timeline with tweens and inverse kinematics, and added interactivity and video with ActionScript.
The Flash Professional name itself is discontinued. In February 2016 Adobe renamed the product Adobe Animate to reflect that most output was no longer Flash Player content, and Animate is the supported continuation today, exporting to HTML5 Canvas, WebGL, SVG and video. The Flash Player plugin itself reached end of life in 2020. The official link here therefore points to Adobe Animate, the direct successor, which is paid Creative Cloud software with a free trial.
Key Features
- Vector drawing, brushes and a professional timeline for frame-by-frame and tweened animation
- Character rigging with bone tools and inverse kinematics for natural movement
- Publishing to HTML5 Canvas and WebGL alongside legacy Flash and AIR formats of its era
- ActionScript support for interactive ads, games, quizzes and e-learning content
- Video export and integration with Photoshop and Illustrator artwork via Creative Cloud
How to Download
- Download from the official site
- Flash Professional CC is no longer sold under that name — on Adobe's site, choose Adobe Animate, start the free trial or sign in with your subscription.
- Install Animate through the Creative Cloud desktop app, launch it on your Mac and open or convert your older FLA project files there.
Is Adobe Flash Professional CC free?
No. It was paid Creative Cloud software, and its successor Adobe Animate is also paid, with a short free trial for new users. There is no free full version of either product.
Can I still publish Flash SWF content?
You should not for the web. Browsers removed Flash Player support after its 2020 end of life. Animate is designed to republish that animation work as HTML5, WebGL or video instead.
