i think flash is slow on everyone's computer, not just macbooks.
and yes... i agree. when i click on the menu, i expect it not to think about it for 4 seconds before it does something. It tends to do that whenever you're on deadline, no?

more ram

oh there is plenty of ram...1.5 GB.

Flash has always sucked on Macs. I'm really hoping the next version takes better advantage of the Intel chip cause Flash 8 is way too slow on my machine.

yep

funny, but flash has actually been okay on my tower at work. faster on my toshiba laptop, but still a pretty close comparison.
now someone tell me why in the bloody hell a 30k swf takes so fucking long to preview in the osx file browser?! i mean 30k and every damn time it will give me the damn beachball and practically grind my preview to a hault! i have 2gigs of ram on a quad 2 gig processors...i mean come the fuck on! 30+ seconds to render that shit??
okay, sorry about the rant...a rant i have shared several times :)

well... what saved me from tossing any of my macs out of the window, is a little gem called TextMate... that combined with the power of drawing api saved my life... and my macs

LVL13...something is wrong with your install, I get quick previews with the same hardware configuration. Time to get rid of the cracked software perhaps?

(Feb 12 07, 20:22)nice try, but no, that isn't the case. not sure if you were trying to throw a cheap shot out, but that's what it came across as. please do your research.
if however, you 305artist (or anyone else for that matter), have any viable info on this matter, it is much appreciated.
kisses,

(Feb 13 07, 00:08)not feasible. we don't have admin access, and they get cranky if you try installing software without their knowledge. ya heard! :)

where are you at now lvl_13? last i remember you were in LA, right?
just curious...
- lvl_130
i was out in lala land (well, actually newport beach, but same thing), but came back about 6 months ago...mostly for a girl, but also 'cause it just really wasn't what i was expecting.
i wish i was back there though over these last few weeks! i hate the cold haha :)

CS3 flash is lightening fast
and has same interface as other CS suites
- nospacebar0
I agree with JSK.
The latest beta build of Flash CS3 is leaps and bounds faster than the Flash 8 development environment.

if it sounded like a cheap shot, i apologize.
It was more of a diagnosis...

(Feb 13 07, 07:07)no worries :)
i'd be interested to see cs3 flash. sounds nice!
- CP120
Im ready for CS 3 here too. Im wishing for more of that Adobe interface polish. AE has the best interface I have ever used.
