    "The Best Software In The World"

    August 20, 2005  |   By Fussy Madam

    Version: Adobe Flash Professional 8

    Pros

    Flash is just beautiful. It takes a lot of time and concentration to get used to it and you constantly develop your skills but it is most definitely worth your effort. Unquestionably the best program to produce animated & interactive websites.

    Cons

    It can be irritating in terms of clicking and double clicking and accidently finding yourself in the wrong screens. It also can become incredibly cluttered.

    "Steep learning curve"

    July 29, 2005  |   By mimf

    Version: Adobe Flash Professional 8

    Pros

    Possible to create fine-looking animations.

    Cons

    I am not a beginner in either IT world nor graphics design, but this program is pretty difficult to learn and use. UI is complicated an often not very logical. It is usually easy to do something once, however, it's difficult to modify your work. I suggest Macromedia developers look at Sony Vegas to see how it's possible to create a program that is easy to use AND extremely powerful.

    Version: Adobe Flash Professional 8

    Pros

    i dont see why everyone says flash is so hard to learn. All it is is a bunch of different oictures that play in a line, changing every frame, like a flipbook.

    Cons

    price. (you can get educational vrz, still extremeley good for much cheaper than 500)

    "TOTALLY AWESOME"

    April 13, 2005  |   By SpikeyOmega

    Version: Adobe Flash Professional 8

    Pros

    This is the best program I have ever used! I used to make simple frame by frame animations, now it does it all automatically. It is so much easier and (with some knowledge) you can make games! And, to get that knowledge you can go to w w w . f l a s h k i t . c o m and they answer all your questions. It doesn't get any easier.

    "Macromedia Flash Products"

    April 12, 2005  |   By sub-zero

    Version: Adobe Flash Professional 8

    Cons

    You know its very advance thats good and all but if your a newboie like me then you should use macromedia flash 5, not to hard to learn once you missed around alittle, I made my own site you can check it out at lionsden.us.tc good program but if you just in the learning process like me stay with macromedia flash 5, then once you learn that completely then use the newer one. Until then dont. My advice though. make sure when you want to check out my site put it on the address bar. its not a paid domain its a free one.
