Re: FLASH: Re: Upgrade to Flash 5?

[Helen Triolo]

Yes, absolutely worth it.  (I know, it's 2 days since your message and

you've probably already got it!)  I agree with everything Dorian said,

but I have still been using Flash 4 also for projects which require it

(eg, a projector file that has to fit on a floppy and compiles to 1.5M

with Flash 5 but squeaks in at 1.42M with Flash 4).  No problems at all

using them simultaneously either (WinNT machine).  Some of the

advantages of F5 are the javascript-like language, being able to view

and print all scripts in the file, replacement of multi-frame loops with

single-frame onClipEvent routines, ability to set and change mc color on

the fly, draggable dockable panels (pallettes), and lots of other good

stuff.  Over the weekend, I put together a little paean to Flash 5

(front-end to Flash 5 journal) at http://i-technica.com/flash5  ;-) 

Also includes some samples and mini-tutorials if you're interested. 

(Flash 5 player required for all).


Regards,

Helen
