Wow! This list just keeps getting longer. I've noticed that a lot of the additions you all want are design based. Here's a few fundamentals that'll open Flash up to new things:

1] Proper reference passing to scripts
I have foind that it is *extremely* unreliable trying to get the URL of the refering page through the HTTP_REFERER environment variable with server-side scripts. This has already caused problems for at least one Flasher who has written a game and someone faked the high-score by submitting bogus data through a HTML page. Because we can't get at the referer information we can't check where the data has come from and therefore ensure its authenticity!


2] Optional Code Protect on ActionScript
Open Source code is great and allows people to learn but... the above problem could have been solved by implementing rudamentary encryption in AS before sending the data to the ASP. However, given that any old blighter can get their hands on an AS viewer it would only require that they receate the code in order to falsify the data. If we had code protection this wouldn't be a problem.

A knock-on effect of CP on AS would likely be more processor load while the Flash plug-in/player decrypted the AS before executing it but for those of us who need CP this would be a welcome [and optional] addition!

Steve

If Macromedia would bring Extreme3D back into the lineup and combine it with Dreamweaver, fireworks and Flash

That would be best complete program out there. of course it would cost $1400 , but it would be worth it.

- the extensibilty of Dreamweaver
- the tools of Fireworks
- the scripting ability of Flash
- the 3d cabilities of Extreme3D

- And a comprehensive tutorial thats shows application vs. functionality

color palette like in Flash 4
style sheets for text
capacity to change size of panel text.
transform fill tool that behaves like in Flash 4 (that would apply fill transformation on multiple shapes at once).

Will this thread ever die!!!!

[Keiichi451]

-- Loading HTML into flash!

[delta770]

what do you mean??...like a html page in a flash movie??

[tonobi]

At first I tried Flash5 I didnt like it, then i kept trying, and I hated it even more! I JUST WANT Flash 6 TO BE MORE LIKE FLASH 4 AGAIN! Especially the scripting, and the tools, and the arrows... and everything else!

[PinkRanger]

make it so u can have MC's follow the mouse on masked layers

[carlodem]

I always wanted to have that one...
It's really sad that I can build very powerful movies with xml data and then have to use generator or similar tools to convert simple jpgs to swf...

hope they listen!

Hi!

here some more wished features of flash6

- better overview ( i work faster with flash4 then 5 because to many windows on my screen!)
- preview of images before importing!!
- prelisten to sounds before importing!!
- better compression of movies and swf
- better protection from reimport or pic and sound stealers!

i like very much the ideas from flashkit like:
- loadimage GREAT
- set framerate in a movie GREAT
- 3d SUPPORT
- setSOUND Properties


nice ideas?

[DaPurno]

Is this thread still alive ???? It's here for over a motnh now I guess

[CrOc [Flash4all]]

ooohhh i forgot:

easier ahndling.. back 2 the roots...like flash4.. :-)

[Buddhaga]

All I want in flash 6 is...

plugins like photo-shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

and 3D studiomax support
and that's all,

ok I also want customizable special effects
like Swish but better, but that's all,

ok I also want a video included in the package
for beginner to advanced training...not some
useless books. Make that two videos.
Ok that's it.


:O)

-keep the html help PLEASE

-support for adobe photoshop plugins to make bitmap effects right in flash (preferably with live effects)

-animation 'styles' (reusable snippets that let you save presets of easing, tween length, transformation, color, alpha, whatever and apply them with a single click to a symbol on a layer)

-a release-to-layers command that takes a bunch of objects on a single layer and creates new layers, each with one object on it.

-a convert-multiple-items-to-symbols option that lets you select a bunch of objects (possibly on different layers) and when you choose the convert-to-symbol command, you are given the option to put them all in 1 symbol, or to create a separate symbol for each object.

the last three would make creating text effects a breeze (and a quick one at that!)

cheers macromedia... i love you!

AND:

please macromedia make it that you can save your fla in flash4 format or flash5 format.
if you ever opened it with the newer version and if not specified actions are used.

AND
LoadIMAGE would be great..but will they do it? they would make their Macromedia Generator in contest 2 flash.
so i think they will not do it with loadimage

I can't believe nobody has asked for the simple task of being able to assign type to paths -- I think the only reason MM hasn't added that to Flash, is so they have an excuse to keep Freehand around . . .

Maybe its not a "milestone" addition, but c'mon! Its so basic! How hard can it be?

This is exactly what Macromedia should be looking at when they release Flash 6 later next year. This is exactly what people wan't in the program. The features are nice.
I hope Macromedia listens and makes Flash 6.0 just like in the screen_shots.

[steven_h_2000]

-built-in text fx engine to create custom text fx.

-fast links to Dreamweaver, Fireworks, etc.(other macromedia products that apply with flash)

-capibility to where multiple people can work on the same project at a time.

-other drawing tools, capibilities, not so cartoony like colors and stuff, more serious.

-have it to where you don't have to goto > control > test movie to see what your movie looks like in action, a fast link to this where you just have to click a button and your movie is there to view.

-a capibility to where you can actionscript sound.

enough? I will be posting more when I think of more.



Best!
