This will NOT happen with the suuport for new users stipped away.

And who wanted TIMELINE "EFFECTS"? KAKA...I want regular old time line usability and function.. not to mention the DAMN normal AS panel to come back..

i didn´t get everything you said,i think with your comments on the AS Panel you mean you don´t like that there´s no simple mode in it anymore,right?
i agree on that,its sad they removed it,it helped me when i was new to flash and i´m sure it was equally helpful to many others.
On that point,i´m not sure if mm will bring back the simple mode in the AS panel but they´ll at least ad training files to the next flash which should help getting into stuff.
i didn´t get what you meant with your statements on the timeline,well,i don´t like the timeline effects either (honestly i´ve only used em once when i got mx 2004 to try them out) but besides that mediocre useful feature (which you don´t have to use) the timeline is just the same as in older flash versions ,so explain some more what you don´t like there.
I can´t tell anything what´s not already public anyway,the flashteam blog states in a few posts what plans they have for the next flash version,i suggest you read that =)
