My main interest with Flash is creating cool-looking websites and doing my

online cartoons.

Flash 4 does this quite nicely for me.

I have been seeking employment for the last two-and-a-half years with anyone

who recognizes the skills and talents I have to bring to their table, so far

all to naught. Even with Macromedia, from whom I have heard nothing.

I don't get it...My wife doesn't understand it... and my kids are about to

see a crappy Christmas because of it.

I don't have the monetary resources to upgrade to Flash 5, even if I wanted

to. I technically don't have a job right now.

There are all kinds of reasons any one of us doesn't do Flash 5, and to

begrudge us that perfectly reasonable state of affairs by making comments

about how we must want to fail by not upgrading (>>... or don't. If this is

how you make decisions, then really, maybe the world is better off if your

work doesn't get as much exposure<) are rude and not in keeping with one

code of ethic I've learned in running a business: the customer is always

right.

And it's still not free.

I can't afford that right now.
