I know its already been mentioned in the thread, but still a quality 3D engine would be a very big imporvement. Also I really like swish, I think Flash 6 should have these features built in by default. Probably too late now.
1. Add Plug-ins just like Photoshop, coreldraw etc, so that we can use more Third Party tools to accomplish our cool effects.
2. Make 3D animation easily with little actionscripts, better support 3D rendering.
3. More powerful in image and graphics manipulation.
4. More functions and freedom in actionscripts.
5. the timeline of flash5 is weird, it seems not better than flash4.
6. Easier to learn and use.
7. within some simple text effects to improve our work efficiency.
8. merge Swish, Vecta3D, KoolMovies etc.
9. Good support with Chinese.
10.within more good tools for sound edit.
11.Improve the function of converting bitmap to vector graphics.
12.Make clear the Document Object Model(DOM), so that we can fully understand the structure of flash and control every object in the project freely.
13.Add commands menu just like dreamweaver to record actions.
14.Add templates with some wizards to generate flash for newbies.
What if you can assign variables, imgs, etc etc to your movie? if you can program using ASP or PHP then you can change your text and imgs and stuff dynamically like the generator but using server side scripting.
You would asign everything like using client-side JavaScript
example:
<html>
<body>
/*
declaration are char=strings int=integer img=images array=array, etc.
*/
<SCRIPT "flash">
//declare
char textbox;
array arraytext;
img imagebox;
//asign
//here we asign some text to a text box
textbox = "here's some text";
//here we asign an image
imagebox = "http://www.flashkit.com/imgs/image.jpg";
//here we asign text to an array
arraytext[0] = "john";
arraytext[1] = "pepe";
arraytext[2] = "Lewis";
</script>
Here are the vars loaded in the movie, just see the movie:<br>
<here goes the whole swf loading code>
so when the flash movie loads it will load all the variables, it will be like almost fully integrating client-side Javascript to movies so you can play with data with Javascript and then display the JS variables into a flash movie, so you would be able to change everything using ASP or PHP like loading data and imgs from a database, that way the movie would read everything from the html file and that way it would make the movie dynamic.
That would be so cool!!! and I know that all the designers and site developers would just love this!!!
Full html support, maybe merging dreamweaver and flash would be toooooo much to ask for, would be good though. and why is a program like swish not already incorporated??, macromedia, friends, buddys, get it sorted.
I would like the ability to control the Tab order of text input fields when used in a form, as well as the ability to keep a Tab from selecting a button.
I would like the feature in LiveMotion that allows you to tween the different properties of a movie clip inividually. For instance, you can tween a clip's scale over 30 frames while tweening its alpha over only the first 15 frames.
There needs to be more HTML tags recognized in a text field than just the standard bold, italic, etc... I would like to see superscript, subscript, and other less prominent tags supported.
The Movie Explorer text search feature does not always find the text you enter in, even if the text is used in the movie. The print feature of the Movie Explorer needs to be more customizable. Such as selecting font and/or font size, and the ability to print only the ActionScripts in a movie.
There needs to be a global search/replace feature for both text and all movie elements (graphics, movie clips, sounds).
Less panels. It works great in Illustrator, but not as well in Flash. Everything seems to move slower, especially if you are working on a large flash file or just have a small monitor like I do. Maybe incorporate the instance name, fill and stroke, etc. into a toolbar.

I suppose a Z dimension would be too much to ask for?
I have a few small wishes:
* add the ability to skew using actionscript. That would solve a lot of the 3D-support stuff
* add support for creating polygons and other shapes using actionsscript
* a faster player (if possible)
* unicode support

A big 'AMEN' to being able to set the tab order for your fields. I've done several jobs where i've actually had to compromise the design/layout just to get the fields tabbing in the right order.
um....hmmm (thinking)!
with the debugger, it should have an option to save the changed settings that you changed on your site, because that damn generator cost tooooooooooooooooooooo damn much!!!
i will think up more.
I think Flash 6 should have something like the
shockwave multiuser server as an addon
Cool eh
Common libraries eg buttons.lib - can be opened by several swf -reduce swf size and ease cohesive site design.
Combine layers function - aid in drawing
less colour palettes - just keep the mixer palette and dump the rest - remove current confusion
My Mac is frezzing all the time with Flash 5, I dont know if its a compatibility problem but i dont think so other than Macs and Flash 6 incompatibility..Im getting constant system frezzzzz uppps. Total lock downs...not happing all the time, but enough to alway expect it to happen most of the time. *******FIX THIS BEFORE FLASH 6..with a patch or something. Other than that copy paste layers that maintain there names...maybe im doing somthing wrong but when i copy and past layers all the layer lables go away..and i have to rename them. ...a problem..or at least a pain in the kester.
Other than that It good...not great until my Mac stops frezzing up.

Good Idea !! :-)Quote:

Flash can only create simple lines and shapes and cartoon like stuff. Progs like Photoshop can create realistic looking effects and has cool filters and plug-ins.
I know this sounds crazy, but maybe it would mean a giant leap in Flash technology and internet technology...
... now users need to use outher Programms for that.
Yes, thats Cool eh :-)Quote:

This is one of the biggest threads i have ever seen...
This is the biggest thread ever in flashkit. 16 damn pages wow. I guess people are disatisfied of flash 5 either that or they are looking for some monumental changes in flash 6.
I want to mainly see support for 3d desiging
This is far from the largest thread ever at the kit :) The one on elvis and his true idenity was the largest.
I would like to see a free case of Carona with every purchase of flash 6.
What i would like to see in flash 6 is what most of us dream about...
An interface including some kind of "3d studio low polygonal rendering" (feature supported as well by the eventually new flash 6 player).
But as I don't beleive in Santa Claus, a simple perspective tool would make my day...
and maybe... What about some full asp or java "built in" function so we'd spent more time creating instead of being on the phone with the programmer that don't have any idea of what i'm talking about according to flash!
Cheers everyone.
