Macromedia Studio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macromedia Studio is a suite of different programs designed for web content creation and was designed and distributed by Macromedia. In 2005, Adobe Systems acquired the software company and thus, all intellectual property. Because it was released just prior to Adobe Systems's acquisition of the company, the programs comprising the suite still retain the "Macromedia" prefix.
