MX that much better than F5?

I am just beggining to learn Flash -started 2 months ago-and now there is this new MX. Should I drop F5 and get hold of MX? (money is NOT a problem). The problem is:I live in Brazil,and there are not that many books on MX so far… I wonder whether there are some new automated script commands in MX? (action scripting is so difficult for me!..) I mean: any plug ins or ready commands for pop up windows,drop down menus or sliding text??at all?\rThank you all very much!

MX is much, much, much better (my opinion, of course). Plenty of books on Amazon.com.
