Does anyone think that Macromedia should be sued for making a product that is so damn flakey that simple things like preloaders can take hours of debugging?
I also think Flash is the savior of our entire profession. Does anyone suffer from this paradox?

Flash is like cold Pizza, even though it's cold , it's still pretty good.

OSX at home and 9.2 at work, but I'm not talking about working in Flash. I'm talking about Action Script. I'm sure it's my fault most of the time, but sometimes. I get stuff that just won't work. I hand it over to real programmers (I'm a designer) and they figure it out after a while and then tell me why "Flash doesn't like it if you..." That's what pisses me off.

yeah but, cyBrain, are you ever going to find a program (specifically a programming-able program), that will never have anything it "doesn't like"?
c'mon, give it some credit!
on the other hand, i too have a love/hate relationship with flash

Flash is so loveable. (when u master it of course). something i don`t. But I will in the near future. Or so I´ve planned. (near future=5-10 years????).
What do u think of swift3d with flash? to much???

Swift 3D is a beautiful thing. It's even better if you know Lightwave, 3D Studio Max or Maya because you can export models for importing into Swift.
The only problem is the megadork online help. Half of it is utter nonsense. Read some of it, you'll want to kill they guy.

Flash is awesome, not only in itself, but when it compliments other web dev. technology in presenting info. At that point you forget about the pet peeves. Its like having a super pretty girlfriend, really hot, awesome personality, but she has six toes on one foot. Who cares? Life goes on, right?

it's like everything else - it needs to be properly utilised.
You don't ask Joe Public to create an oil painting, be dissapointed with the results and go "I hate oil paints".
The simple fact of the matter is that most don't use it well.
