Re: FLASH: On Generator **Hey MM**

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi David,

	What do you want to know about Flash 4 features? It's got so much

potential I am not sure where to start. From the drawing tools

standpoint, I find it easier than ever to draw and design directly in

Flash, but I find drawing and designing in Flash my method of choice to

begin with. 

	Actionscripting opens up realms of interactivity we developers will be

exploring for some time. This is rich stuff to explore.

	The lovely library with folders and sort by symbol type. All I can say

is good bye convoluted naming strategies for symbols. Glorious.


	I personally judge a program by my HMIIGWWWI scale (how many ideas I

get while working with it) And I have already assigned an entire

notebook just for Flash 4 project ideas. 

	And then there are a number of smaller but really wonderful additions.

In the Modify/Curves menu:

 1. Convert lines to fills, for starters. 

 2. blur. This is easy to overlook because  at first I thought, "Oh

dear, endless blurred drop shadows," but I have found several

interesting other uses for this little item. 


	Is there a particular area you are curious about?
