    I have the beta and it is truly The best release. As a developer I find that it makes coding and interaction w/ objects eaiser.

    Also, BUTTONS can now be treated as movie clips w/ instance names.

    Text fields can be truly maninuplated and customized through ActionScript.

    Breaking apart text first breaks each letter into its own group before flatting the image.

    The interface rocks, but u still need to get a high-res monitor. The coding panel is similar to Cold Fusion Studio, not as elaborate.

    Better control over, resizing, croping, and skewing objects.

    As for developers, ActionScript is moving more into OOP.

    So much,....... So much....

    I do wish, that Macromedia would allow us to assign an instance name at the same time when converting/creating an image, rather than later. But can't have everything...

    Buttons are just Movieclips except they also inherit the methods and properties of the button class.

    You can convert a movieclip into a button by assigning it a hitArea:

    Code:
    anymovieclip.hitArea=anymovieclip;
    anymovieclip.useHandCursor=true;
    And back to a movieclip again using:

    Code:
    anymovieclip.useHandCursor=false
    etc... etc..
