Re: FLASH: Fireworks to Flash (SOME THOUGHTS)

[Michael@BTW]

IMHO, Macromedia needs to vastly improve the animation capbilities of FLash

rather than create yet another way to make overlarge swfs. Its actually,

again IMHO, not the ability to create mixed bitmap/vector files that makes

LM so important, but rather the more nearly mature tools for creating

complex animations. I'm talking about tools that nearly every other

'animation' package that bills itself as such has: parent-child

relationships and the ability to edit childed object parameters directly in

the main timeline. Adopting these standard tools would make Flash a whole

lot more accessible to aritists using advanced animation packages (and I

don't mean just the one made by Adobe;-) than trying to match LM where LM is

confused about its purpose, IMHO.


Well, back to drilling down through MCs...
