Adobes proprietary lock-down has started
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007I haven’t been using Macromedia Adobe Flash since version 7, so it’s been quite a while. I am now equipped with the latest and greatest CS3 version of this application so I couldn’t help a certain anticipation when I launched Flash after such a long time of “abstinence”, hoping that the acquisition of Macromedia would have changed the application for the better. Partly because Macromedia had this reputation of being buggy and not fixing even some very alarming bugs within an acceptable timeframe.
Unfortunately I was dissappointed in about every aspect where I was hoping for some improvement. Worse, I noticed a few very alarming developements going on, when using the application for about two days. Let me note here that I’m not a Flash programmer, so I won’t be able to appreciate any improvements on action script etc. I’m merely a wannabe animator needing to create a few banners. And honestly in most cases I’d rather use Anime Studio Pro, neé Moho from Lost Marble, or ToonBoomStudio for creating animation than Flash, but I digress. (more…)
