I just got a hold of Macromedia Breeze as well, and it's pretty nifty

Fireworks kicks ass. It is far better for producing html designs than photoshop. Tasks can be completed much quicker. Photoshop kicks ass too, but in different areas.
The new Flash Pro will rock!

please stop the constant posting of Macromedia

fireworks sucks balls.... it's html output is full of unnecessary garbage, twice the code of what you need, it's like constructing a webpage using Imageready...
My substitute for Fireworks? Adobe's batch actions/files.
for the rest use Dreamweaver MX...

uh, or BBEdit.

Fireworks is quite a good app actually. In most cases I'd say it's better for web work than Photoshop, which is really more of a print app. Though it's hard to get used to if you're a hard-core Photoshop user, it's more intuitive and logical than Photoshop when doing web graphics. And come on, we all know that ImageReady sucks.
And NO ONE should ever use Fireworks' and ImageReady's HTML output capabilities.
In my opintion Fireworks does a better job at compressing images, too.
On the other hand, Fireworks has an annoying bug or too, like all Macromedia crap that's released.

I wish the friggin beta testers would come out and share some info on this beast.
I wanna know what's with this ActionScript 2 junk.
- Recycle0
I assume that ActionScript 1 deals with manipulating the elements on the stage (like JavaScript does with HTML) and ActionScript 2 deals more with sockets, XML, and data transfer (like Java).

"Upgrade from Flash MX to Studio MX 2004 = $500
Upgrade from Studio MX Plus to Stuido MX 2004 = $500 "
i don't think that's correct - i i'm pretty sure I saw $399 for a level2 upgrade (if you studio prior ) or $499 for a level 1 (Flash MX prior)
i'm not 100% but I think i remember reading that

ActionScript2 = Java ?
- unfittoprint0
A comparison chart:
- _noah_0
actionscript 2 is like a combination of Java, .NET, Authorware, and Macromedia Acrobat.
It's totally crazy

Actionscript 2 is just a more strict version of Actionscript. For example, it is now case sensitive. It just conforms closer to the ECMA standards and has some added features. It is not Java. It is no more Java then MX. But it has some new javascript features like error handling.
It is not that big of a change. You can choose to use version one or two in your projects. BUt some of the new features like databinding and the new halo components are created using AS2.
