hey, How come people are still using Flash 5 and with this forum also having its own flash 5 forum? Wouldn’t they like to use mx or mx04? ---

Umm… Not everyone “hacks” their copies of MX or MX2004 like a majority of the people that actually have MX or MX2004… And those that do it the legal way like myself… Can’t really afford a higher version currently… I barely pulled Flash MX out of my budget… And I’m glad I did… But they are expensive man… ---

Not an illegal copy… I run a business… If I had illegal copies or programs and I got busted… I could be sued and fined so muhc money that I would have to be Bill gates to get out of that debt. So… To answer your question… I’d love to have MX2004… But not illegally. ---

sgroove, discussing illegal software isn’t allowed on the forums, im locking the thread. Also, you’re footer is too big, please replace it by a one that abides by the rules in the “Forum Help” forum. 🙂 [edit] Nevermind, I’m unlocking this for now. If things get out of hand, i’ll make sure this gets locked, again, lol. ---

_“build it and they will come”_ There are still questions asked in the Flash 5 forum. As long as theres a public demand for it, it will forever remain… and probably after that too. Too often have I been stuck without answers to my questions in some ‘classic’ application. Should you ever find yourself in a situation where you only have access to Flash 5, then you know where to come 😉 ---

i use flash 5 because i think mm just screwed mx and mx2004 up with the interface thing…and flash isn’t just flash anymore…it’s becoming a programming tool instead of a quick, flashing little program. flash 5 is 17mb; mx is 47; mx 2004 is 74 or somehting. ---

I love the new MX interface… it’s beautiful… Easier to navigate and it’s a helluva lot quicker. Especially if you need to find out anything… and you can change the way the layout looks with the window positions and everything else… 😉 Now MX2004… I have yet to even look at that… I won’t until i can possibly buy it. ---

i agree that the bunch of little windows in flash 5 are annoying. but what i like about it is that the workspace is SO MUCH bigger. in mx, i just have to scroll, scroll and scroll to find something. ---

I have clients which still use Generator as a dynamic back-end, so I have to use Flash 5 to make updates and such… (I really miss Generator ☹ ) I like the syntax in MX, I like the aligning assistance in MX2004, but Flash 5 is the last version that reminds me of what Flash started out. Change is inevitable, but with MX, Flash became more of a programmer’s animation app, whereas it had been an animation app with an ability to be programmed a bit. However, with that said, Sothink’s SFQuicker is trying to cover just that niche, and for $50… Rev ![](http://aulman.com/rev.gif)
