You and Flash

[Xelion]

So this post is just to see how many have gotten onto Flash MX 2004 Standard/Professional and to see whos been sticking with the earlier versions.

You can use the polls and also post what version your using

I'm using Flash MX, although I would like to start using Flash MX 2004 Pro I'm still trying to catch up with MX so it'll be a while till I move on...

Things upgrade too quickly
i'd be happy with flash mx for atleast another 5 years.

What little Flash I use (usually for editing existing movies at work) is the MX (2002) version.

I'm using Flash MX too - I've just about got my head around Actionscript without having to worry about Actionscript 2.0 yet!

Hello

I agree I just started getting the hang of Flash with MX ( I had never seen flash prior to that) Then all the sudden they come out with the new versions.

I still have not spent much time with MX 2004 pro yet. played around with the trial a bit, but have not spent the money for it yet.

Yeah - I was kind of peeved off at such a quick upgrade too ... especially when you consider that not everybody upgrades straight away. I'd hardly been using Flash MX at all when MX2004 suddenly arrived!

[asp_funda]

hmm, seems like I am the first user of MX 2004 Pro to post in this thread.

Anyway, I use both FlashMX 2004 Pro & Flash5. I learned Flash with Flash5, so I am not leaving it any time soon. The switchover to MX(Flash6 prior to MX 2004) wasn't good, since the whole interface was changed, so I didn't use it much but I am using MX 2004 more frequently & Flash5 is just sitting on my PC as a mere spectator, being used rarely now.

It seems that there are quite a good number of people here who use the MX version(prior to the 2004 version).

[Solitary R@F]

....frequently & Flash5 is just sitting on my PC as a mere spectator, being used rarely now.

lol...i've already uninstalled it

Well, I am not un-installing it anytime in near future. I still love it & do have some uses of it, even though the switching between Flash MX 2004 & Flash5 are rare.

When I quit webdesigning 2 years ago, I was still using Flash 5. Didn't do any websites for a year, and when I came back, Flash MX 2004 was out. Using it now, but I have only a vague idea on its improvements over Flash MX - I didn't use that version that much. Just downloaded the trial but never really considered (did't predict) that I'll be back designing.

[asp_funda]

In that case, welcome back into the GANG buddy.

[00.ZoMbiE]

Thanks. Designing is far better than my previous job - tech support. :P

[Blunderboy]

You can still do a lot of stuff with F5.

[E_Billy]

Still proud to be using Flash 5. Or should that be embarassed, who knows !!

[asp_funda]

Yeah, quite a lot can be done in Flash5 & you shouldn't be embarrassed about using Flash5.

Its just a matter of needs. If your needs doesn't require an update, then why bother?

[vgarcia]

I don't have MX 2004 at work, and that's about the only place I use Flash.

[asp_funda]

I don't have MX 2004 at work, and that's about the only place I use Flash.

Like I said, its just a matter of needs.
I for one, didn't have any such need for MX 2004 but before that I was working on Flash5. I didn't upgrade to MX because I didn't like the congested worksapce & I had to remove all panels before it can be made breathable. But in the MX 2004, the panels can be completely hidden & can be called back, all with just a small rod. And also I had to upgrade to MX series since owing to present day demands, Flash5 was not feeling up to it. So I gave a slip to MX & upgraded to MX 2004. I'd say that waiting can prove to be a blessing sometimes.

I use MX primarily...I'm just starting to work with MX 2004 Pro...Got it about 2 months ago and haven't had the time to switch my way of thinking...

[RockyShark]

I've only just started playing with Flash, and I've had Studio MX since it first came out - so it's been sitting idle on my machine for, what, over 2 years now?!

So I can't see me updating anytime soon...

[desperado]

the main reason i switched to mx was the work area is laid out so much better, especially if you like quick accesss to most of the windows

[cyo]

there is a few features i like about flash mx 2004 that i seen but i don't think it is worth the $200.00 dollar upgrade. Currntly I am ussing flash mx, and plan on staying that way until i get the upgrade for about $100.00 or the new update when it comes out has something I need to use.

I use MX 2004 and Desperado's reason is one of the main reasons why I switched to Flash MX 2004. I still have Flash 5 and I dont mind for it to sit there in my harddisk. Comes pretty useful sometime .

I still have to get used to MX 2004. Will be getting books very very soon .
Really interested in learning Actionscript 2.0

[Troylegra]

I think that flash MX was the most major upgrade so it was an essential tool... what came after have bells and whistels that I can live without...

and I am still trying to master MX... and I still have a ways to go... I don't see myself upgradeing for a while

I think the current and future versions are and will be for way advanced users and enthusiasts
