Important: you can buy it for 100$ acad version [Posted on 2003-05-11]
I agree, the price tag is a little big if you are not an expert commercial buisness animator person, but it is a great product. It is not as hard to learn as everybody says, the interface is great. IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE ANY STUDENT/TEACHER/MEMBER OF A ELM., MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, OR COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY, YOU CAN BUY THIS PRODUCT FOR ONLY 100$. This is a lot less, 300$. Good Luck.

major interface change [Posted on 2003-09-04]
Caution: MX2004 is out. Personally I prefer flash 5. It was intuitive and you didn't need two monitors to use it effectively, but I guess Macromedia have to make a buck somehow and are following the Microsoft/Norton software release model. (MX2004 PRO, MX 2004). The only thing the MX2004 software release in 2003 confirms is that MX wasn't that mature.

Not a programmer? Stay away from MX 2004 [Posted on 2003-10-05]
If you have used previous versions to Flash MX 2004 and are not an actionscript programmer- DO NOT BUY MX 2004. MX 2004 has done away with the "Normal Mode" in the actionscript editor and has replaced it with another screen hogging panel called behaviors. Instead of having a wizard like interface to aid in fast prototyping of sites and such, you will be forced to learn Actionscript. Unless you understand the code structure and syntax of either Java or Actionscript 2.0, prepare to not accomplish much. If you are a programmer, Flash MX2004 should suit you fine. If on the other hand you are a designer that uses MX or even Flash 5 and do not have the time to learn how to program- STAY PUT! Flash MX 2004 is not the designers tool any longer. Because of Flash's prominence, MX 2004 is now a programing interface for creating advanced appliances more than it is a creative tool.
