Hello flashcoders, I haven't upgrade to Flash 8 so far. Of course I'll do it soon ;-). But I have already read some of the manuals (AS reference, components etc)
New features are great, definitely worth buying/using/migrating. The only question is "when"? Example: My product, Dynamic Blend v.2 Flash MX 2004 component, uses Color class (Flash 5-7). Have a look: http://www.gousable.com/flash/dynBlend.html Now in Flash 8 Color class became deprecated (in favor of the flash.geom.ColorTransform class). No doubt flash.geom.ColorTransform class is better, but it's "flash8-only". Most other deprecated functions are from Flash 4, so I think Color class will be supported until version 10 (or even 12 ;-). On the other hand, during the last year approx. 80% of my clients require compatibility with Flash Player 6, and approx 30% - with Flash Player 5! If possible, I don't want to force user to install something... I'd like to hear your opinion regarding this. -- Best regards, Gregory mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================ http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
