Exporting to Flash Professional
You can go beyond the interactivity tools in InDesign by enhancing your project in Flash Professional CS5. The workflow between InDesign and Flash Professional CS5 is integrated so that you can design an interactive experience using the design tools in InDesign, and then export the project to Flash Professional CS5 so that a web developer can enhance the project using the full power of Flash Professional CS5 without having to re-create the design. Flash Professional CS5 preserves key design attributes such as InDesign layers, typographic quality, and text threading between frames.
