That far Koolmoves has been pretty incredible for building my project's website but few things have been pretty time consuming.
With the action script support, Koolmoves is *close* to perfection.

The most time consuming task with Koolmoves is to keep size consistent for several shapes: eg layering shapes and making them the same size, getting straight lines on the shapes. Everything worked perfectly while I had the snap to grid but after, I did not find a consistent way to edit :-(

* better snap to grid: I wish the snap to grid could work for all items: when resizing a shape, the points are not snapping to the grid + snap to grid with invisible grid would be great
* also after copying a shape, the copy is not snapping to grid the same way: the anchor seems to have changed
* better way to select shapes: I have a page with several shapes layered on top of each others and I have a hard time selecting only one point of one shape
* copy a frame without duplicating the shapes: that far I did not find out how to copy and paste a frame without duplicating the shapes
* set a shape position for all frames: if you move the shape in one frame, even with the option to apply changes to "all frames" the position of the first edited frame stays different.
* I had several crashes: after saving a project, and on resizing the movie frame toolbox.

-> I'll just address this one now. Running KoolMoves alone without other large applications open almost always solves this problem.

I have to say the crash issue is in the bottom of my feature request list... I know how to deal with it but is there some chance to see improvements in the other fields?
Some editing functions are really tough...

I have no problem with the crashing problem.
But like selceting different pionts and stuff on different layers when the shapes are right by each other is a big problem.

-> you are right, snapping to grid does not work on resizing

* also after copying a shape, the copy is not snapping to grid the same way: the anchor seems to have changed

-> I'll look at this

* better way to select shapes: I have a page with several shapes layered on top of each others and I have a hard time selecting only one point of one shape

-> there are several ways -- select the shape and then select the points selection arrow or select shapes in the way and enter control H to hide these shapes

* copy a frame without duplicating the shapes: that far I did not find out how to copy and paste a frame without duplicating the shapes

-> I don't understand this. If you copy a frame you copy what the frame is composed of. What do you want to happen if you copy a frame?

* set a shape position for all frames: if you move the shape in one frame, even with the option to apply changes to "all frames" the position of the first edited frame stays different.

-> use Transforms > Numeric to set a position in all frames
