I am posting this to answer the above question for those of you still wondering

what features are unique to Adobe LiveMotion.


<NO_FLAME>

This is not a complete feature list of both products, and is not meant to slam

Flash. We all know there are things that Flash has that LiveMotion does not. I

hope you find this relevant and interesting.
