well since the departure of Macromedia - there is still nothing that can’t be done with the MX series.

object-based “tweened” animation is not as optimal as tweened key-frame animation. why? because the whole object / animation has to load instead of one key-frame at a time = no progressive loading. THis SUX. not usefull at all. \_\_ I thought the goal was to free up objects? - like removing code in AS 3 - why now attach tweens to them? \_\_ I’m not sure they know what they want to do.  
(well i do really - that’s make flash like flex - that sucks. )

The 3d feature is a joke. your kidding me right?

AS 3 - can’t do anything new (you can do it all in AS 2 + you can code it 2 times faster). it’s ‘strict’ and more prone to error , and for what? It’s faster ? who the hell cares ? it’s graphics in “almost” all cases that slow things down, **not code!**

inverse kinematics might be the only cool thing they added.

I would have hoped that they have worked on server side intergration like remoting, loading external data faster and server side actionscript but… Still not the case…

**Adobe is killing the one thing that makes Flash more powerful than Flex - the concept of progessive download and progressive execution…**

two thumbs down
