Flash was the designers tool until.. say MX, when it shifted towards the programmer,so adobe ditched all the creativity that brought flash into #1 - maybe they are now trying to make that one better... As for Director - I am glad that they still are learning stuff from that tool, Macromedia did one or two things right :D /Peter I totally agree with Joe here – the choice is the key… Flash was the designers tool until.. say MX, when it shifted towards the programmer,so adobe ditched all the creativity that brought flash into #1 – maybe they are now trying to make that one better… As for Director – I am glad that they still are learning stuff from that tool, Macromedia did one or two things right :D

As for comments on who uses the timeline anymore? I do. Loads. And I also use Zigo, MCTween, and the usual suspects where appropriate. Horses for courses. Having built over 30 sites and 100+ banners single - handedly, I've a little experience with the various methods.... It's good to have THE CHOICE.

And yes, real hardware rendering would be extremely cool yes nish… but if you are creating complex character animations you probably want to see what you are doing :D

Right now tweening can be a nightmare because of all the broken tweens and the strange way they act sometimes. I like this because I am used to animating in programs such as Swift 3D where it tweens for you. it is good to see that feature finally added to Flash.

There is not a single advantage to the age old frame-by-frame. I hope, hope, hope to see some changes in security too, the ID3 tag restriction is absurd, no response headers is another WTF, port ranges limited to 1024, and the fullscreen no keyboard rule... absolutely horrendous. None of these are anything but a hindrance. And what is the deal with cross-domain computeSpectrum? I usually blame laziness for bad ideas like these, but these had to *be* implemented for them to take effect... deary me... Real hardware rendering and threads wouldn't go a miss either, even with real rendering - there is always a rasteriser fallback. And with Flex hosting so many web apps, the only excuse for no threads is... oh, there isn't one. I love Adobe, but with Microsoft's albeit feeble attempt to get a spot in the market with WPF, if they do things properly first - they might just get a hold. Flash was always pretty, isn't it time it was useful too? I’m glad the timeline is being improved. There is not a single advantage to the age old frame-by-frame.
