I am new to these boards, as well as Flash MX. I was just wondering, what is the difference between Flash MX and Flash 5.0? I am hoping one of you can tell me the difference, and which one you would rather prefer having. Thanks.
Welcome to kirupaville!
i am not really good at flash yet. i am still a newbie at it. but i bet some one else has the answer to your question.

Flash 5 is the older version MX is the newer one (its Flash 6 with funky-cool nonsensical two capital-character suffix [edit] phil beat me to it haha[/edit]).
Flash MX is “better”. Why?:
- its newer
- it does more (in terms of manual animations and scripting)
- you can use it to make and publish flash 5 files
- ‘better’ (arguable) interface
- scripting hints, auto indent, auto format, etc etc
- faster
- other stuff I cant think of
Why you would use Flash 5:
- you havent bought MX or you are too poor to.
… as I mentioned above, MX can make (and read) flash 5 files, so really, theres no reason to ever use flash 5 again once you have MX since it can produce both versions of those Flash files.

Thank you! I will be staying here awhile, until I get good at Flash MX, which will take awhile. Also, I was surprised at how fast people replied! Let’s keep it up!

NOoOOooooOOooooOO!! :o
Phil, I haven’t been here but 30 mins, and all I have seen so far is your posts! LOL. You always post this much?
Yup, Phil runs the Random section, this is his second home. =)
correction, its his only home…he lives in his car with his laptop and sells drugs out the trunk…beware Philbo…he wants to rule the world!! 
yo mak, don’t expose sensitive secrets about Philbo’s money laundering schemes… we don’t want the IRS cracking down on his profitable sweatshops in the Honduras, or his underground skin-whitening solution that he markets overseas as, ‘Snoblique’
Leave the man alone… after all, he was almost raped in the rain after touching his friends buttock on a gay beach in florida. Isn’t that enough?? :bad: Ahahaha!
