I've been saying I was going to learn Flash since Flash 5 ... I imagine even though in my head I've said this is the one, with each incarnation.
I'll be post-poning any Flash work until "9" more than likely.
Where I guess instead of drop shadows, they will go even farther back and add text beveling (... of course unless they already have it).

been testing it out all day and the only things i'm even remotely excited about so far is the text rendering options and the cacheasbitmap property.
any of huge things i'm missing maybe??

not just shadow but also blend modes and more graphic effects. more robust flash video.
and the biggest thing i'd say is flash player security.

I think my copy is busted. There's no performance increase, in fact I'd say things run slower. WTF am I missing here?

the alpha in video is cool, also try scaling a bitmap - it's always so narsty but it's cool now.

Sounds cool. I'm still using Flash 5!

external png loading and the new small font tricks are hella nice.

i think the eliminated billions of librarys being opened at once too... they've paid a little bit of attention to the layout of the interface this time.
i THINK you can reverse design 'some' components now too - which is always nice.
