I apologise if I am making this thread in the incorrect place, or if this get asked a lot, as I am not a regular of these forums. I felt that I should post here anyway as I thought that you would provide some helpful answers.
So, what do you hate about Flash (The program itself)?
I don't hate flash as much as I did. As As3 made it so much better.
However I wish it was more class oriented; more-so than it is now.
No matter what your weaknesses are, make sure your own abilities supersede them.
The fact that updating to CS5 costs $200.
Crappy all-over-the-place performance.

There isn't much else you can add to make it more class oriented...
#include <stdio.h>
char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";
main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}
Do you want the long list or the short list?
fatal crashes all the time that totally remove all you effort after you saved.
no autosave i think
the actions window always goes below the bottom of the screen so i cant resize or scroll to certain parts
if you use the brush tool too much it lags a lot
the onion and timeline could be improved. they should show larger timeline boxes that have everything drawn in thumbnail
and more

There's an extension for that.

I'm sure.

:o There is a long one?
Thanks for the feedback guys.
The lack of good code hinting.
FlashDevelop solves that problem though.

Agreed except flash DOES show everything thats drawn in thumbnail. Right click on that lil box on the right side of the timeline window and it gives you that option.
Uhhhmmm...Flash is kinda buggy at times, i wish they put more thought into the animation portion of flash even though thats not its primary use. Make it more like toonboom ya kno? :P
Oh good, in CS5 they fixed unshift() for vectors. Previously unshift() was completely broken and I had to use an array instead for a certain situation.
#include <stdio.h>
char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";
main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}
- No built in autosave
- Flash Player is CRAP!!! Needs to be upgraded to the point where my flashes don't lag! I mean I can run Counter Strike at 1024x786 but I can't play a 550x400 flash if I put to much crap in it.
- I wish it had unending loop protection. 3:
- Sometimes randomly crashed 3:<

Win.
#include <stdio.h>
char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";
main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}
Why is it when it comes to sound flash hates you.

Are you defending flash for it's shortcomings?
Fearing that my project gets too big for NG :P Happened to me a few times already.

Not to mention the fact that, with larger projects, saving can take a very long time. I know someone who is working on a project that takes an hour and a half to save.
I still use Flash 08 from the '06 days because I don't want to leave it behind.

That can't be the best way to organise the project.

A lot of artists put it on 0-10 smoothing for the style. Doesn't make them retarded. Flash won't lag if you 0 smooth. brushing for animation.

It's an alternative solution.
Some random things I have on my mind:
Slow as hell.
No destructors.
No way to manually delete objects or at least force garbage collection.
Using constants instead of vars doesn't speed things up. They are practically the same.
Every function call causes quite a bit of additional CPU load. No inline functions.
Indescriptive topic names have left me in despair!

I thought his topic was about the program, not AS.
Guess I was wrong.

I have this EXACTLY, and it is just godamn terrible. I'll make an animation up to about two hundred frames, and when I preview it its choppy as hell, and I have to take a load of stuff out. I've tried to find an extension which allows for better swf previewing, but if anyone else does, please let me know.
well sometimes you can fix the flash player lag by restarting your computer. i thought it was my flash game that was all glitchy but youtube videos and madness flashes were laggy too so i just had to restart. that doesnt justify it though

no hardware acceleration, the fact that the last two releases (CS4 and CS5) had hardly any improvements...
