Does anyone know if Flash CS5 still requires outside libraries to do things like deep linking and back buttons, or do they have a standard way to do things like this that essentially re-invent the browser?

Random pet peeve: Can we get Flash's pen tool and vector point editing to work they way they does in Illustrator?

Vaxorcist,
SWFAddress and a few other 3rd party scripts seems to still be the only way to do deep linking. There wasn't any mention yet of deep linking in CS5.

Why bother. flash isn't a drawing program. Id rather see them develop the 3d engine more. a lot more. They should partner with swift and really develop it.

I think some of you are looking for quick solutions for complex problems. Maybe you should think about doing ink based work, it's pretty straightforward work.
Some of you who are complaining about the switch to AS3 need to realize that the language needed to evolve, and so do you. I'd just get on with it and learn the damn thing. I have a lot more fun coding for AS3 than for AS2.
The other thing is this, and make no mistake this is a message from the few of us who are encouraging you to learn AS3 to the lot of you bitching about how Adobe screwed up your profession... We hated when we had to work on your files. Asinine workarounds that make anyone with a half way decent understanding of the technology scratch their heads. Navigation setups that are so static and timeline based that it takes an hour to add a button. We HATE working on your files. So get a grip and either learn it or sling ink.
It really isn't that hard of a language to learn, it does however have a very very steep learning curve. Especially for us designers who have turned into developers, it's really hard. But just stick with it, get some mentors who have patience and power through it. Also, there is such a large community of AS developers you can get answers to things in minutes.
- hahaha "it takes an hour to add a button"...thats was most of 2004 for me :), lol..my files, too..mikotondria3
- haha me too. I was there once believe me. It's a pain in the ass to learn to do it right, but it's rewarding in the end.mathinc
