Hi,

I have started working in a new place and they have Flash 8 here, before I was using MX 2004.  
Maybe I dont have very good memory so I use help panel to check syntax, spelling, usage etc. from help. But in Flash 8 its terrible!  
When I search something lots of answers come up but they aren´t sorted alphabetically!!! At least by the first letter in first word and so on, it has some strange goofy sorting by belonging class or whatever and its impossible to find something quickly or at all!  
I havent found any ways to change its behaviour, is it possible?  
Are there any nice alternatives to (view) Flash 8 help?

Thanks in advance!
