Let's hope the implementation was as good as they say it is and that they finally listened to all of us with problems with Flash 7.
I hope "8Ball" will make me really happy.

I was just about to buy MX 2004.
Good thing I waited

I am excited, but I don't think this release is more important than the last one (2004 AS2.0). I mean an improved image api is nice, but the supported effects can easily lead to becoming corny within six months. I would rather hope they have impoved the import of PSD's (or PNG's) and IDE improvements. But maybe we'll have to wait for that with the next version when MM + Adobe are really integrated.

Release date is mid September.

didn't the old studio mx have freehand included?
- E__________0
Freehand just has never lived up to its promises: being a good alternative to Illustrator. With the merger of Adobe and MM they will probably stop developing Freehand altogether. Like Adobe will not pursue further web-integration of SVG as an alternative to Flash.

threre's not much improvement codewise: the biggest leap was already done with actionscript 2.0, a more familiar c++ framework.
the biggest features, in my opinion are:
#1 Flash 8's rendering speed
#2 font clarity
. . .
// #666 drop shadows

Dreamweaver 8 is very nice indeed...
- nosaj0
I love that the 1st new feature they presnt is the ability to put drop shadows on text. Cutting edge!
- E__________0
all that it lacks is instant solar flare.

There's some pretty cool stuff being done with GetPixel, and the app isn't een out yet!
Looking forward to deploying Flash 8 files in 2008 when it's the standard audience version ;)
