Subject: Re: new features list for flash 3
From: Paul Hagwood

I agree!

Please, please, please make the drawing tools in flash better. God! They
are horrible! A vector drawing program where you can't control the
curves with points? What were they thinking?

Also how about mouseover actions that make things change in other spots
within the flash file. (i.e. I rollover a circle and a square in the
corner changes to a block of text.)

Better layer controls!!!!!! Merge layers!!!!! please, please, please.

OK, have I sounded desperate enough?

>
>>4:Cache problem fixed. (NS3.0, 4.0 and I.E. 4.0 will not cache files.)

>>6. Integration with AfterShock, which could be part of Flash 3.

>>7. A pixel by pixel movement with the arrow keys, independent of the
>>zoom level. (It would be great!!)
>
>>8. Better layer tools, like grouping, merging, copy, paste etc. in the
>>style of photoshop.
>
>>9.Better quality in exported animated GIFs. Finer export control.
(like
>>in fireworks)
>
>>10. Better quality for TEXT, esp smaller text.
>
>>11. Perspective resizing.
>
>>12. Filters like in freehand and illustrator.
>
>>13. Better javascript/vbscript connectivity with browser
>
>>14. ability to change frame rates within movie.
>
>>15. external library file to be downloaded separately, cached, and
then
>>used ALL over the place.
>
>>16. Either make the space off of the stage invisible (it will show up
in
>>certain situations where the shockwave is not in proper proportion),
or
>>make it more accessible in the editor.
>
>>17. optimization controls, already quite good, could give a preview of
>>the streaming at various baud rates. Tell us how fast it downloads on
a
>>normal modem, etc.
>
>>18. realflash output/tweaking
>
>>19. one word: TRANSITIONS
>
>>20. ability to take form inputs in flash
>
>>21. ability to dynamicaly change elements eg text with scripting
>
>>22. less buggy tool (on a mac)
>
>>23. better / multiple forms of audio compression
>
>>24. an export function to create .swf like files for palm pilots
