I have Macromedia Flash 5 and I am very very happy with it. I was thinking of upgrading to Flash MX but i am really put of by the price of the update. I don't think that there would be much extras and the extras you get I wouldn't use most of them. Do any of you guys have MX and do you think i should upgrade?

Thanks for the info. I have downloaded the trial version from the macromedia site and it's really good. I think it might get it but maybe when it's a bit cheaper. What do you mean when you asked if i had paid for Flash 5?

You paid for Flash5?...thats unlucky.
I actually like Flash MX, it's taking a while to adjust but it has a lot of uses, most useful feature i've found is that you can put the layers into folders, so if your making a big file, you can put all the buttons, or sound files into a folder and move it out of the way, giving you more room to navigate and view your canvas.

There are loads of upgraded features though, I just havn't found them, look at Macromedia.com for the full list.
The actual navigation and layout is a big difference too, get the trial version and see if you like it or not, bad thing is, if you use some of the features in Flash MX you can't use them in Flash5, only dissapointing thing i've seen. :)
