Hello fellow Kirupians. I have a question… does anyone know when the new versions of the Studio MX suite and Adobe PHotoshop, Illustrator and Indesign will be released? From what I have found on the web, Adobe will be releasing most of it’s new software line this fall but I am not 100% sure. As for macromedia - I couldnt find any info anywhere. I mean they are dropping the price of studio MX like 100 bucks so that must mean something is on the way. Does anyone have any info on it? Thanks in advance! ---

lol yup, same here… espcially actionscript-wise… :trout: I think mx2 will have better loading API as Moock requested, and, well, I’m _hoping_ a better flash (7?) plug-in ---

I simply want Flash to enable the use of dynamic .gif or .png again… I can’t believe how many times I have needed this since Gen2 was abandoned… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

I can’t wait till Flash MX2 is released. It’ll be a nice change to start writing some new things again =) ---

I’m just glad the the saturation of the Player 6 is up to above 95% now… with a new release of software, it’ll be another year before the majority of the web upgrades to the newer player… Personally, I think that MM has withheld a few options, just to preserve their idea of revenue streaming… I say, offer less versions, but make the versions more of a change… save the people who actually use their products a few dollars and pains… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---
