instant placement scroll bars have been added in Flash MX. Likewise \_alpha properties are easier to set in MX than in 5.0. They heard your cries… but you’re behind in the technology. 😛 ---

You can open 5.0 docs in MX, but you can’t open mx docs in 5.0. There is an option in MX to save your FLA as a 5.0 doc though.
