not to mention that most of the mx components are overweight, seemingly impenetrable piles of crap..
To make a simple custom skin for, eg a scrollbar comp. you have to find the comp. in the program folder, openit, change what seems to be a myriad of gfx, save, publish, reimport etc..
While I appreciate that flash was trying to go to the next level, I look back on the period from flash5 to 7 as being pretty terrible. Now it seems that flash can only be used to it potential if you already have a very solid grounding in something like C or Java, and although they've given a nod to the design community with bitmap caching and fricking drop shadows (like that didnt take all of 30 seconds in mx2004....), AS2.0 classes/components etc are still some of the most unusable and disproportionate principals Ive ever come across - far too much effort to get too simple a result.
Fuck it.
I want sparkle.
