So i'm getting one for christmas...
can you use the pen as a mouse and just do about anything the mouse does?
And does that mean I can use it with Flash 8(or any drawing program I want to)?
Thank you!

Yeah It'll work with all programs as long as it works with your operating system. Some programs might work better than others and have functions for it, but Flash 8 will work nicely.

I have the exact same one, and I can confirm that it can work the exact same as a mouse, it can do everything you need a mouse for, it you configure it right, although I find a mouse easier for everything except drawing, tbh.

I personally use the tablet for drawing and the mouse for animating (Inserting keyframes', moving symbols around etc.)

Yeah i'm gonna use it for drawing too i've been drawing all my flashes with a mouse and sometimes it's been a real pain in the ass.
