Version 2 of the Macromedia Flash MX 2004 component architecture offers a robust architecture for building highly usable, visually rich interfaces for the web or for creating custom user interface controls and components. Engineered to give you the best possible experience building rich, interactive web application interfaces using industry-standard controls and components, it introduces a number of enhancements over its predecessor. These improvements are the result of new possibilities made available by the new version of the ActionScript language specification and a wholly re-engineered component architecture.
