FreeHand MX At a Glance:

The creative design solution for print, Internet, and Macromedia Flash
Realize your creative vision with an unparalleled set of creative design tools. Only FreeHand MX has everything you need to move seamlessly from concept through design, production, and publishing in a streamlined graphics environment -- all while working with a single document.

EASY
Quickly concept, design, and publish print, Internet, and Macromedia Flash projects. FreeHand MX provides a streamlined, easy-to-learn graphics environment for designing illustrations, organizing information, laying out storyboards, and developing click-through presentations.

• Enhance productivity with a highly customizable workspace. The Object panel eliminates the need to move between multiple panels to inspect and change object, text, and style properties. Tools panel organization and streamlined workflow make FreeHand MX easy to learn and use.
• Quickly organize and map navigation, content, components, and data flows - Drag and drop to build persistent relationships between objects while providing complete editability of stroke styles -- with the Connector Lines tool.
• Produce immersive presentations and click-throughs for proof-of-concept and client approval. Drag and drop interactivity between objects and pages with the Action tool. Assign ActionScript commands in the easy-to-use Navigation panel. Quickly publish to SWF for easy distribution.

POWERFUL
Rapidly create and edit visually rich designs and illustrations that provide maximum impact. FreeHand MX includes a powerful and flexible set of vector-based tools for designing print layouts, Macromedia Flash animations, or application interfaces.

• Layer complex visual appearances on individual vector objects. With multiple attributes you can apply and organize an unlimited number of strokes, fills, and effects on a single object, from a single panel -- eliminating the need to keep up with and edit multiple copies of an object for the same visual appearance.
• Easily build rich graphical components for ads, interface objects, and attention-grabbing headlines. Apply such path manipulation effects as bend and transform while maintaining editability of the original shape with live vector effects.
• Quickly reshape graphic primitives while maintaining editability - Round rectangle corners, turn ovals into arcs, and change the number of points on stars -- all within the workspace.

OPEN

• Design, lay out, and animate Macromedia Flash movies in a familiar design environment - Place existing SWF components and applications directly into your FreeHand MX layouts, maintaining complex ActionScript programming. Drag and drop advanced ActionScript commands for navigation, printing, or interaction with external SWF movies.
• Easily preview and export optimized SWF movies - Preview SWF movies in the design environment using the built-in SWF Controller. Set up SWF export with the redesigned, easier-to-understand Movie Settings button.

FREEHAND MX TOP 10 FEATURES:

• Multiple Attributes - Add more visual punch to your designs and illustrations-- apply unlimited stroke, fill, and effect attributes to a single vector or text object while maintaining editability of the base object.
• Object Panel - Now you can quickly inspect and change object and text properties-- such as stroke, fill, font, or effect-- in one centralized location. In addition, the Object panel provides localized stacking control of multiple attributes for unlimited and unique visual appearances.
• Live Effects - Maximize creative expression with live effects, which apply complex distortions and effects without altering the original object. FreeHand MX includes vector effects (such as bend, sketch, and transform) and raster effects (like bevel, drop shadow, and gradient transparency).
• Live-Edit Graphic Primitives - Quickly and easily reshape rectangles, ellipses, and polygons while maintaining the control and editability of FreeHand MX graphic primitives.
• Macromedia Flash Integration - Increase productivity and streamline development of Macromedia Flash projects. Plan, layout and design entire projects in single document. Now you can even import more complex Macromedia Flash movies (SWFs) into your FreeHand MX document and integrate them into your designs before exporting back out to SWF with improved efficiency.
• Action Tool - Drag and drop complex Macromedia Flash actions between objects, symbols, and pages. Assign simple actions like Go To and Play, or Go To and Stop, as well as more complex behaviors such as Get URL or Load External Movie
• Connector Lines Tool - Quickly map information architecture, data flows, and site maps with the Connector Lines tool. Just drag the tool to assign persistent relationships between objects. Connector Line styles let you completely customize the appearance of connectors and quickly apply them.
• Creative Capabilities - Realize your creative vision with a collection of enhanced tools and functionality. Create exciting 3D appearances with the Extrude tool, which gives complete live control over extrude attributes, including 3D rotations, lighting, and shared vanishing points.
• Fireworks Integration - Streamline your graphics development workflow with enhanced Fireworks integration. Launch and edit imported bitmap images with a single click in the FreeHand MX Object panel, make your changes in Fireworks, then click back in FreeHand MX-- your image is now updated, without losing any effects or transformations applied to the original FreeHand MX image.
