Adobe has released a free update to their Presenter tool (similar to, but not to be confused with, Articulate Presenter) which, among other things, makes it ActionScript 3 compatible! Yay! Windows 7, 64bit support is also apparently improved.
“Adobe Presenter 7.07 is a fairly significant change in the overall Presenter delivery so users will need to uninstall 7 and then install the fresh copy of 7.07.”
-Adobe eLearning Blog
So the way to obtain this update is to download the trial version and apply your existing serial number to register the software as a full-version product.
While Articulate Presenter is a much more popular tool and, especially with its Engage component, arguably a more powerful tool, Adobe Presenter is a very similar and capable product, though it is geared more toward users of Adobe Connect web conferencing software.
Refer to Adobe's eLearning blog for other Presenter-related notes (such as synchronizing and installation questions) and note that Presenter is listed under the 'Connect' topic on Adobe's user forums.

Adobe and HTML5
In an example of their commitment to tools and productivity, which is not only wise from a business standpoint but also to help dispel the idea that Flash is the only property that matters…
…Adobe has recently released the first public preview of Adobe Edge – their “HTML5” animation tool.
While I’m sure Flash remains a far more robust development platform, it’s nice to see attention being paid to other technologies, and perhaps tools that offer less of a learning curve. It’s a first release, so don’t get too hung up on things like it doing div-based/JQuery animations (as opposed to pure SVG or Canvas manipulation…so it’s minimally “HTML5”)… I’m sure the more advanced features are coming…especially as the browsers and spec continue to evolve too.
Also recently launched is a new site to serve both a resource and a showcase highlighting and providing information on new HTML5 and CSS3 features.
The site itself makes extensive use of new features such as CSS3 Transitions, CSS3 Transform, and web storage as a resource for learning more about HTML5 and CSS3.
Just a few things to keep your eyes on!
