Which leads us onto Adobe’s latest addition to its Creative Suite: Adobe Edge, which is basically Adobe Flash but for the Open Web arsenal of HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3.

HTML5 is a good replacement for flash. Including this in the Adobe suite isn't exactly innovative, but it's a good step at making HTML5 more accessible.
Adobe Edge enables users to create animated content in HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript, a first in the business as a professional HTML5 editing tool.
Have you tried Hippo Animator yet? It's like Edge but it works on old browsers like IE6 as well as modern browsers and smartphones.
Merry Christmas
I haven't tried Adobe Edge yet but I've heard so many good things about this program. Thanks and I'll be sure to look into it.
