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?

Let's all just get over this right now: Flash MX is the 6th version of Flash, but it is called "Flash MX".

Flash MX (6) is $500.00. It allows you to bring video into Flash.

But if you want to have any type of control, you will need to buy a $300.00 add on program to go along with Flash MX.

So, if you want the full video features available in Flash MX, then you'll need:

Flash MX: $500.00
The Add on program: $300.00
__________________________
Total: $800.00

Sickening, isn't it? The other sickening part is Macromedia isn't publicizing any of this info, at least not where I can find it. I had to do some serious digging to find this out.
