Studio MX 2004 with Flash

I noticed that there were a few customers who had problems with registering the product. I did get an error page on the Adobe site, but nothing that indicated registration wouldnt be possible. I had no problem installing and opening the programs in the kit. I bought this package for the full copy of Flash MX, but Im pleased that I got some great additional Adobe products with the kit. Also the seller upgraded my shipping to priority at no cost to myself. This was a pleasant surprise.

All in all this upgrade is good, not tremendous. The problem lies in the changes to the ActionScript Panel: The Normal mode has been removed. This means that you need to learn how to write all your ActionScript yourself, without the great aids that MX offered. There are still a few little helper menus you can use, but if you dont understand the syntax of ActionScript in detail they arent much help. If you intend to use Flash without becoming a programmer, choose the MX version, not MX 2004.
