Yes, if you don't mind the better processing speed with AS3... ;)

I was playing around with it other day. Is there still no way to export a pdf from flash? or i have not found the button or something. :-|

Also i hope this version works better with text, past few days i have been running into really weird problems with flash 8 and its embed fonts that dont seem to want to work with AS stuff...

Flash CS3 starts up much faster than previous versions. For me, that was a great surprise after I upgraded. I don't think I could stand waiting for Flash 8 to start again.

I never heard of Flash publishing PDF... Maybe it's on the way, but it's not there yet???

dr_zeus... Much faster than FMX??? ;)

CyanBlue, I started with MX 2004, so I wouldn't know.

[CyanBlue]

Hehe... FMX2004 is whole lot slower than FMX and FMX2004 is whole lot faster than F8... So... :)

I just got Flash CS3 and i can't do anything. It crashes for everything. It crashes when I publish, it crashes when I want to see my action script pane.

I hate adobe.

Maybe it didn't install right.. Did you try to reinstall it?. Also what OS? and have you tried to install any other cs3 version product of adobe?

[MikoLone]

MAC OSX

Yes I installed it right
Yes I reinstalled it.

It has the trouble with publishing actionscript 2.0 stuff. And when I want to just open the actions pane. Still not sure what I am going to do about it.

Probably downgrade.

that sucks.. i dont have mac so really dont know but im using flash 8 and flash mx 2004 too... im not touching that thing for actionscript 2 stuff.. :p its too much eye candy and i dont have any clients needing as3 type stuff.. so im staying with the simple stuff.. :)

You used to (MX, 2004 and 8) be able to export a postscript listing by right-clicking on a rendered .swf file, choosing print from the dialogs, and printing to a postscript file. You could open the postscript in acrobat or illustrator no problem. The new version breaks this, and the color is not rendered correctly. :mad:

Why not export from flash a PDF? It seems like a good thing specially if flash can spit out a illustrator file why not a pdf... and now its the same company. Anyways... thats my 2 cents... regarding pdfs and flash..
