Re: FLASH: Fireworks to Flash (SOME THOUGHTS)

[unique]

JD proffered as so:

AND, John,


Has MM any interest in making FW "more of" a Flash-Movie-Development platform?


*Especially* as one-of-several-possible responses to Adobe's 

theoretical "raise" (with LiveMotion) of MM's "ante" (Flash)?


(I *can* see that LM ain't really competition (*yet*), but ya (MM) 

gotta think of it in those terms, nicht wahr?)


What I envision, eventually, is that folks who wish to insist upon 

preferring to think in terms of HTML and gifs and jpegs and even 

animated gifs would certainly *really appreciate* (i.e. "fun" "happy" 

"carefree" "easy") being able to export a form of their "familiar 

thinking" DIRECTLY as a Flash movie. (FAT and HEAVY though the swf 

may be, without refinement ... BUT, HECK, *fat bandwidth* is just a 

nonce away, right? ... Adobe surely seems to be banking on this.)


Such a move would require that MM *cares to incorparate* 

Flash-movies-as-a-feature-of-FW. In my mind, this directly implies a 

need for significant "Wizard" "help" within FW4. Have the wizard 

coach the "code/photoshop addict" through the proper decision-making 

process.


Just some thoughts, the likes of which for which in some arenas I'm 

paid very well :-) ,


Ken Sherwood, standing by, ready to be offered a QC position by a 

certain software company that appears (somewhat) to "care".

                           We want them. We need them.

                                May we have them?

                                If not, why not?


                   HECK WE'D PROBABLY EVEN *PAY* YOU FOR THEM!
