Well this thread went on and just begged for my 2 cents. With all due respect,

Id like to add that being a writer is different then being a reader, especially

when it comes to technical

information. Its kinda like seeing a piece of artwork and getting a different

impression than

another viewer. I have to admit the lessons given even with Flash2 demo where

great, but the revised version to 3 is much more powerful in its application and

with the addition of Tell target routines, Movie clips and level control, Flash

is almost a totally different program.

Im sorry to see that MM didnt create more "mouse point and click", "video-like"

swfs to

teach these new applications more effectively. It is still just as static as

Flash2's tuts.


I can also see that ordering on-line gives a void to how the software works, but

I thought

you could also have MM send you the package including manual.


IMHO, the bottom line is; this IS an OPEN list and any question is a question to

help

someone promote our developing interest and the more interest, the more

attention to our

investment.


This doesnt mean Im for people who take advantage of other people's time and

dont at least

learn the basics of the program.


Its funny though, a question usually arises from someone who hasnt tried a

certain technique or needed something until now and whats a simple conclusion to

one is not to the other, even to the up and coming "gurus"<g> I think it just

depends on what your trying next.


Try asking a "new" question on a 3DMax developer's list. FLash is nothin'!
