Hang on, Flash MX IS the new Flash program, there is no Flash 6. There is a Flash 6 PLAYER, not Flash 6 program. Someone at the FK MX forum already cleared this up for me. Oh well, if you have better info on this please clarify it once and for all please.

Added, in fact I am right, it was you in fact who told me that, "Just to clarify for you, Flash 6 is Flash MX" in this forum!

So what's this in your post above? :

users can choose whether to pay $300 for the Macromedia encoding tool (in addition to the $500 for Flash 6)

By 'Macromedia encoding tool' you mean Flash MX right? But you have said that, "Just to clarify for you, Flash 6 is Flash MX".

Upgrading to the new Flash program is not going to cost $800 is it?
