Royale and Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Professional are very different
products.
Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Professional adds a lot of developer-related
features above and beyond the 'standard' edition (Macromedia Flash MX
2004, which itself contains many enhancements over today's Macromedia
Flash MX). There's plenty of information on the macromedia.com website
about Flash MX 2004 and Flash MX 2004 Professional:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/
Royale is still in development and you can sign up for notification of
more information here:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/preview (if memory serves!)
Both Macromedia Flash MX 2004 and Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Professional
are visual authoring environments. Royale on the other hand is server
technology that lets programmers create SWF files using XML.

I see Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Professional, Royale and ColdFusion MX
all being complimentary tools / technologies that will work well
together.
