Haha, I'd have no idea about the new stuff.
I opened Flash 5 last week for the first time in 1 1/2 years just to see if I recognized ANYTHING.
Couldn't even remember how to shape-tween a square to a circle!
LOLUsed to do so much with Flash, was a senior moderator for Flashkit and used to spend God knows how many hours monitoring everything that had to do with Flash 5 before it was released because so many kids got ahold of hacked versions.
Oh to have that level of free time again.

What are you having trouble with?
One thing I hate in Flash is that you can't set the width/height of a text box using the Property Toolbar without affecting the scaling of the text inside... You have to drag the corners of the textbox, which is so fuckin innacurate.

how can you change the spacing between 2 lines of text?

I am just tired of Flash in general too. I used to really like it around the days of 5. Now I thinking it is bloated and only good for certain uses. I prefer CSS any day.
Why did you stop using it mg33?

(Jan 31 07, 13:41)with the two lines selected, go to the 'format' button and tinker with the 'line spacing'.
That's what it was in MX2004 anyway. I'm hoping Adobe infuses some real typographic controls – the current options are terrible.

(Jan 31 07, 13:41)Is it a static or dynamic text box?
If static, select the line of text you want to add space after, and click the "Edit format options" icon in your Properties bar (the icon with a backwards P), you can add line spacing there.

if you just want to design and not be a programmer, flash is not for you

acencense your attitude is defeatest but honest. Im trying to balance that fine line of great design and great flash. I know it can be done.

seed - I think I lost interest around 2002 when I started working and doing less flash. Didn't do much web stuff for a while and in the last couple of years got more into CSS than anything else.
I never thought I was all that great at using Flash, instead, I think I was better at understanding the methodology behind what you can do with it. I must have critiqued a thousand sites or more in the time I spent there, mostly just helping people figure out better ways to do what they were attempting, either with how Flash works or design aspects.
