    correct me if i'm wrong here, but only windows has hardware acceleration for video. flash video on mac still sucks pretty hard. hopefully that can change.

    I don't agree that they need to focus on designers though, if they're to be taken seriously as a development platform, they need to work hard to build a strong dev community. I read a great blog post the other day, i'll try to dig it up. anyway, the gist was that developing for as3 is frustrating because the community is 99% amateurs that have no idea how to program. think of any simple problem in, for instance, python, do a quick google search and find your answer. do the same for as3 and wade thru pages and pages of misinformed crap and people taking shots in the dark.

    • The interface for flash is awful. This is probably what needs improvement to make designers and developers happy.ayport
    • happy.ayport
    • The IDE? LOL. Most serious Flash programmers don't even fuck with the Flash IDE.dMullins
    • exactly my point, so why is the ide so shittyayport
    • that's because as3 is a pseudo computer language, a bastardized thing.spraycan
