What exactly about Swish do you like?

How do you think the timeline is more straight forward than KoolMoves.

If KoolMoves lists the Score (Timeline) would this be a?;

A. Marginal Improvement
B. Just an Improvement or
C. Large Improvement

Without Moving to a all timeline based tool (A downside of Flash) what improvements would you suggest?

What are the specific tools in Swish that you think would be benificial in KoolMoves?

I've seen Swish 2 and the only things I think that are really desirable in it is Sprites and SWF Import. I wasn't overly thrilled about how it has become a Flash Clone though.
I think a Score listing that is shown while editing where you can navigate simply by clicking the section is great in Swish. I like how I can create a scene, have objects under that scene, and reference that scene from other scenes, and bring them all together in one movie. I think the canned effects in Swish are also pretty good, and offer a more crisp look than the ones in koolmoves. Swish effects are cleancut and not as "busy" as some of the koolmoves ones.

With the scnes and timelins, I can copy, pastes, and drag effects, objects, etc. from scene to scene and from different points in the timeline.

What I love about koolmoves is the ability to draw, manipulate shapes, and the bones features. The drawing tools are great!

One tool I would like to see is a freehand pencil that does not make closed shapes, only the line. I dont like having to go into properties and change the CLOSED setting every time I want just a freeform line.

I do think Koolmoves is far better in design, however it is a little cumbersome in management of frames (In my opinion as a novice user).

I think if koolmoves had a box on the side that allowed scene grouping and jumping from one scene to another, allowing you to reference actions to scenes, etc, this would be great!

Keep up the great work !
