FLASH: Now you can talk about Flash 5? s

[Jefferis Peterson]

Okay, its announced 

http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/proom/pr/2000/index_flash5pro.fhtml



Specific questions I have weren't readily answered, although on the whole

it looks great.


1. The new action scripting is javascript based or compatible. But the

mention of 3D effects is obscure.  Question:  what are the 3D effects

included as drag and drop type items? And will I still need and benefit

from a Flash 4 book that analyzes and teaches the math involved in

creating the 3D effects? Or can I do it in Freehand, e.g. and easily port

it into Flash? 


2. Generator 2 developer edition is available in a combo package.

[apparently only for Windows which cuts me out.] 

 a) how hard is Generator to learn

 b) does Generator have to be loaded onto your server, and if so, do you

need to host the server yourself to take full advantage of it? [ because

I use an ISP Pair.com as my server, and I don't control what modules they

do and do not allow]


Thanks,


JEff
