The truth is that Flash is about the buggiest program around. It took me hours on the phone with Adobe just to INSTALL Flash CS3, and I'm know I'm not alone. Yes, it's great that we can finally export quicktimes again since Flash 5 (and we act like it's a boon bestowed upon us from on high when actually it's a BUG that they finally got around to fixing). But has anyone else found that if you are using a lot of filters on movieclips, that even though those movieclips do render out in your quicktime, you are likely to see many extra frames or dropped frames in your quicktime. My current animation project is 28 seconds in the Flash timeline. When I render out a quicktime, I get a ton of extra frames in the scenes where I use a lot of filters- and the quicktime is 36 seconds long. Way to go Adobe!

Publish settings are to default. If I do not save the file I can test a movie but, the minute I give it a name it creates an error and states that the file or drive is locked. How can this be resolved? No issues with Flash 8 just the new CS3 version just installed. Good thing I have the older version to do work. Help would be greatly appreciated. T. Mike,

I recall bitching about this here nearly 2 years ago. Any improvements in text handling in dynamic text fields — superscripts, subscripts, ordered lists?

I know PaperVision is doing some great things... but what about native support for it? I know you are well aware about how 3D is becoming more and more popular, what is flash doing to make sure it doesn't get passed up? Thanks! Mike,

Do you hate us that much ;-) ..or are there actually good reasons for such a huge price difference? …please share those reasons with us so we might feel less ripped off. Another thing I was wondering about will Flash CSS3 target the current Flash 9 player or will there be a new Player with new features. For example will there be support for RTL/Bidi text? Thanks!
