With this release Macromedia confirms its undeniable
leadership in the domain of web animation creation software. Flash 5 is a
very good upgrade that every Flash 4 user will surely want to pick due to
the many enhancements it brings. Macromedia listened to its customers by
including new features they requested and frankly it�s a success! During
our tests Flash 5 showed its incredible power, which definitely convinced
us. The only regret we may formulate is that the vector drawing tools
aren�t as good as the Adobe Illustrator ones and that the software can be
unstable in some special conditions. Macromedia Flash 5 has already been
massively adopted by leading Flash developers so why wait? Order it now!
