update 9/29/04 - i just wanted to chime in regarding the 7.2 updater that was recently released. macromedia has done the right thing and released a massive and free update to the horrendous mx2004. though it speaks volumes about the initial release's quality when i say that despite hundreds of fixed bugs and performance enhancements, mx2400 is still a not very good. unless you desperately need a feature of mx2004, i would suggest waiting for the next release, which macromedia has promised will focus on performance and stability.

the two eariler reviewers are quite correct, flash mx 2004 is a very poor release from macromedia. performance is unacceptable, even the script editing, which is little more than a text editor, is sluggish; crashing is constant; adherence to OS human interaction guidelines is mostly ignored. the new "features" added are buggy and not implemented very well at all making them all but useless in many cases. unfortunately this is indicative of the current state of software development from macromedia (many of the complaints against flash can be lodged against dreamweaver and fireworks as well). they enjoyed their most successful year following the release of the original MX studio, which while flawed was at least usable and relatively stable. MX 2004 was very obviously pushed out by marketing/accounting far too soon and they are now reaping the rewards of their greed (macromedia missed their quarterly earnings because of the "slow uptake of studio 2004" and the stock has suffered). one can only hope that the financial sting of releasing a shoddy product will encourage them to pay attention to the little details in future releases. though the quality of the recently released 7.0.1 updater does not leave me overly confident.
