Fuck flash CS4 - FUCK IT!

Posted by TheCriminalDuder - February 12th, 2009


CS4 is absolute shit!
Sure it looks fancy and it has a super custimizable workplace but, the new way of tweening is BS and a HUGE time waster. They've made it so fucking complicated just to tween your Cam around - not only that but, good luck finding a cam that works.
It's insanely slow and crashes without warning often too.

CS3 is much better. I can tween my cam, clear keyframes, FBF animate quick and painlessly, etc.
It allows for faster work output meaning ya can get more work done and in a smaller time period.

As an artist I am VERY unhappy with it.
As a nerd I am down right pissed off at it for failing so bad.
As someone who expects actual BETTER programs when new versions come out - I am very disappointed.

Big sorry to ya Dan. I tried to make it work - at first it seemed pretty good, it does a have a few nice things, but the BS of this program far over powers the ability to actual use it.

I personally am going back to CS3 and don't plan on even thinking about CS4 ever.
Anyone planning to get CS4 in hopes of a better flash program which will improve animation or make it easier... DON'T! Just stick to CS3 - it's fast, reliable, still has a fancy feel to it, and won't piss ya off and turn a lil' work into a fuck-ton.

I'm uninstalling it right now.

Do you have the .swf of the finished flash that fucked up? If that still works maybe you could get someone to decompile?...

I am not sure how or if that would work though.

The old working .swf was deleted and my recycle bin emptied.
It's gone.
It's okay though. I'm remaking it. It will be done and it will be good.
