chris,

I use my tablet mainly with Metacreations Painter and it is great, you can vary 

the thickness of the line, tilt AND the opacity by applying pressure.

I was hoping that with Flash 3, the same would hold true, but unfortunately you 

can only control the thickness of the lines, but not the transparancy. Perhaps 

in the next version

I also own Expressions which is a vector drawing program that works more like a 

painting program which had transparency capabilities long before the BIG name 

ones came out the the option. I tried importing Expression files into Flash 2 

with horrid results, perhaps with Falsh 3, I will have success. Has any one 

else tried working with this program and Flash? It is made by Metacreations.

Thanks,


Judy Miller
