Very expensive program for what it does. Very useful for websites wanting to
provide dynamic content, as well as people who want to make animated videos.
Have been developing with Flash since 2000, and I can't do without it.
Interface of CS4 is much better than earlier versions. App seems quite stable, I
haven't had much problems with it. Am now developing in Actionscript 3 and AIR,
and the layout with tabs is perfect for that. Overall, I think a mature app.
Just as good as I remember it to be back when I used it. I still use it now
and then to make quick points without having to do too much work, visuals to
explain what I mean with certain things.
Very useful to have, but seeing the price..As a Student I cannot afford it so
I go by trials.
Still doing AS2, I love Flash it gives me a fuzzy feeling, maybe because it
has been years of getting familiar with it.
Is there anything out there than can be used to compared with? ToonBoom
maybe? It is an excellent tool to teach programming to Designers, a difficult
task always :)
Funny that Flash has detractors everywhere, you only need to Type FL..amd
a horde of forum contributors will jump at you (unless you are in a Flash forum
of course)and will try to exorsice you from it. The reason for so much
resistance is that Flash offers both, the programmer and designer with a vast
set of tools and they both reign over opposite realms. the old struggle,
Designer VS Programmer. Each powerfull in Photoshop or Java, but in Flash...they
must meet and show their shortcomings and found themselves vulnerable beings.
Designers cannot do long division and Programmers cann't mix two colours to save
their lives. so Flash is that middle battleground :)
great software for starting animators and programmers.
i personally use flash for programming flash games.
i worked both with actionscript2 and actionscript3 in flash.
i'll just explain the little difereces AS2 and AS3 have
actionscript2:
created by macromedia to ad extra programming options to flash (compared
to actionscript1). actionscript2 is a little bit easyer than actionscript3. but
its also full of inconsistency and programming clutter. AS2 trys to help out the
programmer to ad lots of functions to every script. but you don't use 90% of the
features witch are provided. your computer still have to calculate all those
unused functions and drag down overall performance. still AS2 offers lots of
functionality and is the programming language who tough me how to be a
programmer.
actionscript3:
created by adobe after they bought out Macromedia. AS3 does have lots of
consistency and some programmers even call it one of the cleanest and best
written programming language. it doesn't add any clutter to the SWF files, but
that comes with a prize. actionscrip3 is very strict. if you forgot to import
some standard code, it wont work. but compared to actionscript2, actionscript3
is between 10 and 100 times faster to execute.
for all the AS2 programmers:
learning AS3 is a must. because AS3 can handle so many features and runs
so much faster, and of course every buddy is looking for AS3 programmers. lots
of thing have changed in the new version. I personally did have lots of trouble
adapting to AS3 but after a few months I really enjoyed it.
if any buddy does have some questions about flash programming or comments.
just send me a pm.
I love making flash games and animations! :D

Not so easy to use but still the best!
Animaciones, videojuegos, presentaciones, etc...
ótimo para animação, principalmente para web. mas peca na hora da programação.

Use it only for creating SWC assets (animation and UI) - while on free trial.
Reason? Price.
For scripting - FlashDevelop.
love the 3d features, the bones and the interface which is more like after effects and premiere and generally every other adobe product.
CS4 has improved user interface and features
Great for websites and animations!!!
LOVE IT
