Why Flash MX 2004?

I'll start this site with some basic introductory on why Flash MX 2004, and reasons of not to avoid it, or scared by it.

There are few good ones, besides from you have to type the ActionScript by yourself, which i know most of us hate to do that, with all those memorizing of alphabets in our mind.

But before this, i was like this as well, i bear the fear to approach or to use this software at all, until i started to work after i graduated, and I got in touch upclose with this software, which since last time, i worked with Flash 4, 5, MX, which i've got myself used to the predefined script inside, and rely a lot on it to make my movie work, take for an example, the simple stop(), which I'll even open up the ActionScript editor and double click on the predefined stop(). It's not to be ashamed of, indeed everyone learn from the basic, and i did. And i would say, the experience to be able to type out the ActionScript out by your hand, the satisfaction is something which is really rewarding, looking back yourself which don't know anything at all about Flash, except animating objects inside.

There are sure lots of people, especially designer turned back against Flash MX 2004 due to it's being focussed more into OOP already, but until now, although i'm a designer, but i realized Flash MX 2004 itself are more versatile then what i used to work with the older version of Flash. The .as files and so much more thing, i mean, it amazed me on how Flash can be expanded, from a single user interface application to multiplayer application, imagine, Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) on Flash!

I'm looking forward to share lots of my knowledge with you pals,
