I agree 100% with Ed (20 April, 2010 at 5:54 pm)

Flash is supposed to be good for animation, and it is not. It has not improved anything illustration or animation wise since Flash CS3.

CS4 and CS5 are useless upgrades for animators. Don’t even THINK about using the bone tool on a character. It will only make you angry. I literally studied it for 2 days straight, and it was a HUGE fail. If you are an animator, CS3 is what you want, otherwise, go for toonboom.

I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time… however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.Great stuff as usual

Well all the new features are totally useless to me, with the exception of been able to see the video imported on the stage, thats good, but all the rest are good only for programers and website designers etc.., I work with animated cartoon characters, and what concerns my job, there was no improvement at all on CS5, no bettter brush and its properties, and be able to rotate the stage when inking the sketch like in the Toon Boom for instance, the bones tool of cs4 and 5 is totally useless for cartoon character, you can’t nest anything with those tupid armateurs, it should be like in Toon Boom where the symbols work connected with eachother, but also in separated layers and easy to move one by one when you need. Adobe defenitly doesn’t give a S____! about cartoon character artists. they develop things for programers and web designers, stiff and boring things!. Anyway I hope CS5 doesn’t freeze and crash as much as CS4, well whatever, because I am not going to buy or trial it, thats for sure, I wait for CS6, but curently, slowly migrating to Toon Boom, hopefully I will never turn back, Thanks adobe for NOTHING!.
