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 · 06-20-2007, 06:12 PM

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 · 06-27-2007, 12:07 AM

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.
