Flash 8, Fantastic ! [Posted on 2005-11-01]
I am so happy with the new Flash 8, and am even more delighted that Macromedia re-introduced the 'normal mode' (although not called normal mode anymore) for designers. They have also introduced a new way of skinning video, and I absolutely love the new On2 VP6 video codec. There are so many improvements from MX 2004 that I would be writing forever to tell you about them. As a senior designer who has been using flash since Flash 3, I think that Flash 8 Pro is the best ever yet! Well done Macromedia.

5 stars??? Please! [Posted on 2005-12-26]
OK, you know when Adobe (they own Macromedia) is out to get your money when two upgrades from their product lines are actually downgrades, in my opinion. My first disappointment was with Photoshop CS2; slow, and they did away with great functions that were present in v7 and CS. Now with Flash Pro 8: what's the big difference between v8 vs. v7 to be worth the upgrade price? None that I can see. This upgrade is simply not worth it--period! You'll be better off staying/buying Flash Pro 7.
Don't beleive me? Try the free 30-day demo they offer.

Great program, a little pricey. [Posted on 2006-01-21]
Macromedia Flash is essential if you are looking to make professional web pages that are very design oriented and interactive (animations, games, rollover images, anything). With that said, I do believe that the price is a little too high for the product.

All in all, it is worth the buy if, like I said, you are serious about web development. Check any top notch website and you are guaranteed to find flash.
