"As advertised"
Version: SWiSH Max 2
Pros
Good examples and tutorials. Simple but powerful. Availability of templates online. Price.
Cons
Crashed a few times. 14 days was insufficient for trial.
Summary
I have not used Adobes product, the price is simply prohibitive.Perhaps that is the Cadillac, however I was able to produce headers and forms from scratch that looked professional and worked as I desired.

"Better off with the real Flash Pro from Adobe."
Version: SWiSH Max 2
Pros
Nothing that stands out
Cons
Much easier to use the real Flash Pro. This program is too cumbersome. Support is lacking. Google has problems indexing site.
Summary
Spend your money on Flash Pro from Adobe. Do not buy Swish.

"not user friendly"
Version: SWiSH Max 2
Pros
cheap and "supposed to be easy"
Cons
no video tutorials wirth a crap for beginners. they just expect you to have "some" basic knowledge of swishmax
Summary
I learned Photoshop and Dreamweaver from the total beginners' to pro level within a few months - on my own, but
-this stupid software is driving me crazy;)... No real good video tutorials that would explain everything STEP-BY-STEP. They have the most boring tutorials for older version of swishmax and since they changed the software around and are using new terms to discribe its components - you have to sit there and guess what they are trying to say.... what could be leant in minutes takes hours... I think I could learn Flash by now - seriously! well at least Flash has plenty of knowledge base and templates online.
And the templates swishmax sells - are simply ugly...
*******oh,, and you CAN NOT use flash created templates.******** I just wanted to have a nice slide-show and there are plenty of beautiful templates that I could use without learning much now if they let users import them into Swish - but they don't. You must learn everything the hard way and only use their ugly templates...
So if you are a beginner and think you'll buy it and will be able to build a beautiful slide-show etc within a few weeks - You are dreaming. Be ready to learn and guess for a LONG time... -

"Does Everything"
Version: SWiSH Max 2
Pros
Works with Adobe Director lingo commands because the output is pure flash...Very easy to use. I used this for 4 years and have done many websites. If you get stuck, google your problem and you will probably find your answer...
Cons
not really...
Summary
it's cheap and gets the job done...

"Just get Flash."
Version: SWiSH Max 2
Pros
This is ok, but not very good. If you are going to make animation, use flash. It does cost a lot more, but it is way better than this. Yes flash may be harder, but it is better.
Cons
Didn't like it.
