Troy,

Thanks so much for that post. Man, you had me bouncing up and down in my

seat. This IS exactely what Flash needed. And that was the best post I have

seen about Flash 4 yet.


The bulk of people I have spoken to over time, avoid Flash for those very

reasons, so much more so than the plugin issue. Sites need to be functional.

Balance, balance, balance.....


I am also certain, that the wee snippet that MM gave us for a preview,

doesn't touch the surface of what it can do.


Just look at how the use of Flash 3 evolved over time. It is when developers

start to push to see the potential that the magic starts to come alive.


Another angle, upon thinking of what you wrote about the if then,

statements, among other things. If this is obviously going to cut down time

by eliminating workarounds, that will translate into more time to be

productive. Gosh time is money, time is productivity, saving time can

sometimes be saving your sanity. I think these things alone are worth the

upgrade.


I hear a lot of points being made about what wasn't improved on, and many of

them are very valid.... very valid, but I always hear this everytime MM

comes out with an upgrade to any product. Greg is always laughing about the

pathetic vector tools in Authorware. I just read that line to him and he

laughed and said, I could write you a list of things that should have been

fixed in version 4.


Bottom line everyone, is that with anything, is your cup half empty or half

full? Man, put your shotguns down.


I too, was hoping for some graphic improvments, I imagine those are being

saved for even better improvisions with Freehand. I thought I heard

somewhere that the font issue was adressed? Perhaps I was wrong. And damn,

when is that trial going to be available?


Anyhow, thanks again for that post, I sent it to hubby....the programmer :-)


So, when will the 30 day download become available? :-)

Judy
