Why are you making personal remarks about me? You represent a large
corporation and I made what I class as correct and valued judgements about
the Help System behind Flash. I don't class that as a flame. Your personal
remarks about me have nothing to do with flash or this list and thats what I
class as a flame. I actually haven't heard anyone say that the help system
in flash was good. Just because you must remain politically correct about
Macromedia products doesn't mean I have to brown-nose the execs too! You're
lucky I'm not immature enough to make personal comments about you on the
list so that we may see how thin-skinned you are - I mean look at your
reaction to someone actually saying that the flash help system is crap??##@@

The paper bound manual is crap too.

I was merely trying to see whether others had this impression of the help
system and what their comments were. It is very relevant to this list and I
got back some good suggestions and some good links to get "REAL" help!

Flashy Junior

BTW It's my real name :)
