Get a PC.....it does recognise RIGHT MOUSE CLICKS...and even on a mac if you map the right button to Control Click
I NEED to be able to scrub the sound, event sound as well as sync sound. All the sounds on all the layers. If I turn a layer off, I want that sound not to scrub... please.
This may be considered a sin to ask for, but I would like to be able to expand and contract the timeline ala After Effects, not just have a couple of options.
Actionscript window I can see without getting nose grease on the screen. Better way to use imported pics without having to trim the white jaggies. Text that is sharper at smaller fonts. Simple drop shadows and such.
im refering to flash action scripting, not computer of choice, einstein.Quote:

my company uses flash to make many web-based software instructional interactive tutorials and when whatever action in the software asks for a right mouse click..we have to go to director to complete the interactive.
Read/Write pixel possibility and support for some music format called mo3 (songtrackdata and mp3 compressed samples)I think it`s called.
In Flash 4 when you copied frames from one scene to another the layer names would be copied also. This was pretty handy, and quite a time saver. For some reason this is no longer the case in Flash 5. I'd like to see this feature brought back in Flash 6.
Yes, but only if you hadn't already named the layer - that got quite annoying sometimesQuote:

Also, radial gradients (as opposed to circular) eg so you could draw a colour wheel.
Oh yeah! something really big I forgot before:
New type of layer: DISPLACEMENT LAYER
Anything attached to it gets moved about - so you could easily do ripples and stuff.
By the way, is this the longest thread ever? I remember someone saying the current record was 10 pages.
Flash needs to tell you if you are missing fonts as well as what was said before about being able to change fonts site-wide.

I would like to see ActionScript completly re-done, or atleast another method of coding.
I hate the Action Script Window. I would much prefer a plain .txt file that listed what to do, closer to HTML and all other programming languages. I hate both Normal and Expert Mode.
(But it's still ok, just could get better)

I would love to have the pen tool work like it does in Freehand 8 haven't got 9 yet .
It is a macromedia product after all.

I was looking to use Flash as a platform for developing a kiosk system in mulitple languages but the people at MM Europe told me they had no plans to incorporate unicode into Flash. Maybe F6 might 'think global, act local' by adding unicode support.

Better garbage collection, how about Flash 5.5? I noticed this is a problem with XML and streaming dynamic data. They have to realize that XML is going to be used in real time and in some cases refreshing the data dynamically every 10-15 seconds. They need to really work on the flash players overall performance when completely dogged to the limit.
And yes a 3d engine built in would be sweet!!! with the ability to import 3ds files, ewww, maybe a texture and particle system for kicks and laughs!!???

I'd like a sane debugging environment personally, a la director, something where you can see the playback head moving as the movie plays. not like the current deal where you have to test/export and then use the trace() function or the current rather crappy debugger. also I'd like something like the director message window where one could execute actionscript expressions line-by-line for testing.

ummMMMmmm....how about Virtual Reality integrated into Flash ......able to produce 3d Flash worlds.
Or how about a 3d rendering engine....that renders wireframe models built in a Flash 3d Object Building Module,or imported from other programs !

The partial support for HTML and DOM are good, but why not go the fully nine yards and fully support them?
Also, I would like to see a bug free designer.

I would be nice if you could control the vectors true Actionscript... (like controlling the start en end location of a line, etc.)
More 3d support and maybe client/server support for mulit user Flash Fun things

- full html support
- mask-layers that allows to be actionscripted...
- autosplit a text into its singly letters and set them
on different layers. (named as the letters itself).
- inbuild 3d-recognition for Form Tween (*G*)

3d... 3D... THREEDEE!!!
Amazing that flash is 2d!!, it's already vector-based!!
a small leap for macromedia, but a giant leap for mankind!!
and yes, the help could be in text, atleast without java,
and alot more of advanced tutorials.
linked text boxex for spanning, more gradients, filters like
blur etc., stop ONE sound, INTERRUPT ACTIONS...

have a built in function like in javascript; setTimeout()
that could come in very handy.

1st: version 6 has to support quicktime. that would be so nice to have a movie embeded or linked into a swf. i would love to put it in a movie clip and add transarency or change the colors or anything, that would be so cool!
2nd: ACTION PALETTE!! i'm so tired of setting transparency and scaling and moving! yo udo it one time, and after you press one button! just like in photoshop.

Bring back good ol' Flash4 mechanics, even if redundant. As an OldSkOoL FutureSplasher, I have never understood the dramatic change in interface from 4 to 5.
Stuff like double clicking an audio keyframe to bring up audio properties. THAT made sense! And fix the custom color deal- And what's up with overspecializing key commands? Who cares which way you rotate something 90 degrees? Just hit the button 2 more times like the old days!
Okay, I'm done. Time for my medication... -01101
[Edited by GmF on 11-30-2000 at 06:09 PM]
presets in trace-bitmap dialog
GmF, good call man - bring it all together!
Something else I remembered (damn I really should think about this and put it in one post...:))
I'd like to use input devices other than just the mouse and keyboard. Not long ago I had a discussion with TheMaster about synchronising Flash to external sound sources - the main reason I couldn't was because there was no way for a 'beat-timing' signal to be interpreted. So I'd like to have flash access outside signals - be it from another application or another hardware port.
Particularly SMPTE.
a easier music editing interface
full html and java access
I'd love to see things pre-rendered. Making a guestbook or a mailform should be much easier, even a standard choice. It should be a standard thing in Flash6 or at least easier. Only the looks and inputfields should be enabled to be changed by the author. Now there's nothing wrong with sharing code (Heh... that's what Flashkit is for right?) But those things should be a standard on every page made with flash, so incorparate it into flash, into a smartclip or something.
Also using external textfiles (which is already possible offcourse) could be done easier.
Also managing big projects which contain many swf and whatever-files should be handled from within flash (just like in Adobe GoLive), so that it would be easier for movies to talk with eachother. You just have this worksheet with your project and you can just click on a movie, textfile, jpg's, javascripts a.s.o.
Wow....
I could think of many more... maybe later.

How about if Flash 6 were combined with features from Adobe Photoshop, 3D Max, and other awesome programs? It'd be one hell of a bargain at $400! [also maybe a better interface, more options?]
---> [email protected]
The current debugging system leaves much to be desired. I'd like to see a programming environment for Actionscript like we've grown used to with C++ and VB. So we can step through functions, add variable watches in the envionment and track down errors properly. Trying to do it with the debugger and the trace() commands just doesn't cut! The debugger's watches are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.
3D stuff would be nice but its just eyecandy. Give us the power tools to work out or late night mistakes.
The new pannel system sucks too. I spend all day moving/opening/closing pannels and ended up just getting a second screen on my workstation to give me the desktop space to program and draw effectivly.
And get the HTML integration sorted. I got the impression we would be able to use html in flash to mark up dynamic text... Wrong! (Or at least I can't it work out and the help files only have one short paragraph on the subject.)
Still love flash 5 but I expected expected far more meat from it.
I want Flash 6 to be exactly the same interface-wise as the previous version. When Flash 5 launched, it was like learning a new program if you were an avid Flash 4 user. They eliminated the keyframe circles, a little annoying hand appears now when i want it to be a normal arrow, so many things changed. They need to stop changing things completely. They should just improve, not completely re-shape, the internals of the program that everyone was so used to.
I think what's really necessary for Flash to become a "real" authoring environment is a plugin system. I mean, what would Photoshop be without plugins? With plugins, you could have things like Swish and Swift3d right in the authoring environment. Plus you could have other smaller plugins that handle repetitive tasks, so you can concentrate on your work.
Also, macros could be a big plus, all coded in JavaScript like in Dreamweaver.
And something really insignificant that could really help me would be a little (-) sign on all the toolbars so you can minimize them and be left with just the title bar like on the Mac, so you can save workspace (is it just me, or in Flash 5 you have very little workspace even in 1024x768?)
Last, and most important, a HISTORY PALETTE!!! I can't believe Flash doesn't have that already, it seems like a no brainer.
All I really want is more 3D, 3rd party plugins, and the old actionscripting window.
I would like to see more interaction with server side such as sockets so that real time games that interact with a database could be created with ease
