It lets you move a camera around for zooms and pans instead of moving everything on the stage.

No. Just… no. 😑 AS3 is so much better than AS2, there’s no reason to ever use AS2 unless you’re forced to due to some limitation, or perhaps for some external loading shenanigans. ---

Or if you do animation and you don’t feel like forking over to the money for CS3 which has virtually no improvements on that aspect of Flash. Then it would be good. ---

[QUOTE=TheCanadian;2351137]Or if you do animation and you don’t feel like forking over to the money for CS3 which has virtually no improvements on that aspect of Flash. Then it would be good.[/QUOTE] AS3 has **gigantic** performance improvements over AS2 - so even if you’re just doing animation, AS3 is a hugely better option. ---

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, might as well stick with MX2004 in that case. 😛 ---

Dude this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo old. This is better: [[SIZE=“5”]http://bryanheisey.com/blog/?p=1[/SIZE]](http://bryanheisey.com/blog/?p=1) AS3 as well. Supports bitmap filters, and rotation. I used it for tv commercial work. ---

I remember some one posting a super smash bros camera that track 2 objects and zoomed in when the were close and panned out when the got father apart, I thought that was pretty cool.
