Macromedia just announced the latest version of Dreamweaver / Flash / Fireworks / etc.

Seems like plenty of new features - particularly CSS handling in Dreamweaver, and Flash is now split into 2 versions - standard and Pro.

Whaddayareckontothat?

dorian · 26-08-2003, 06:54

standard vs pro - not too sure if i like the idea...

prices might be different though - (

)

ncrossland · 26-08-2003, 06:56

think the pro is aimed at people creating RIAs and using video.

the standard is aimed at people who want 'skip intros' and dancing kittens.

dixon · 26-08-2003, 06:59

is that late 2004?

That'll be me then

"...the range includes a new application, Flash Professional that, 'enables developers to organise and build applications using a forms-based metaphor as an alternative to traditional timeline development.' Not for the faint-hearted, this software is aimed at developers familiar with programming tools such as Visual Basic."

Bring on the dancing kittens

dorian · 26-08-2003, 08:05

yes! design tool for programmers - the state of the web will never change! [/cynical me]

Shouldn't Macromedia be bringing out Blog MX soon?

greenfruit · 26-08-2003, 08:41

i thought it was good that the dancing kittens guy (rathergood.com) got tv advert out his site.

Mr Fred · 26-08-2003, 08:43

is that the same bloke. really good advert

i like the little scouse kid for mcdonalds

"dont let yourselves down lads"

greenfruit · 26-08-2003, 08:49

apparently it is, i did a bit of research on the web and all point to him. the websites not been update for a while either which suggests to me hes been working on the ad and also if he hadnt had a hand in it im sure thered be a protest on his site.

dont remember the scouse mcD kid.

Stickman · 26-08-2003, 08:51

That Joel bloke has done kitten work for mtv before doing this crusha advert. He's raking it in off the back of those crazy cats.

Mr Fred · 26-08-2003, 08:56

back to post:

would mind seeing what studio mx has to offer but i dont think i / company would need it for at least 12 months

Mr Fred · 26-08-2003, 09:30

just been looking at some of the features that are coming in the whole range of mx and i can see 2 things that would be cool (double byte language character support in dm, fw) but if you have a copy of:

photoshop
illustrator
topstyle
emeditor
ws_ftp_pro
flash

why bother??

Brown · 26-08-2003, 10:13

dream beaver rocks. site management, templates & css support are all good - although i do recomment topstyle pro for editing css externally.

ws-ftp-pro is also excellent but if you have different people working on a server then its nice to have a check in/check out option somewhere.

[beard]homesite is my favourite program in the world. [/beard]

oh, and in the beaver, right click an image, edit with fireworks, click the done button, everything (source file and image in site) updates. i love the DONE button.

flatcat · 26-08-2003, 11:07

I'll be getting a sneak peek into the whole suite on Sept. 3rd cuz the local Flash User's Group here is going to be holding a small event in coordination with Macromedia to showcase MX 2004 to the Macromedia User's Groups

I'll agree with that...check in/check out is the whole reason I can work from anywhere and am office free!

My favorite place, sunny day, shady tree, outside...wireless LAN. Lovely.

never really had to use check in /out feature - seems a little overkill in my books

i work as one / two man team and not a group of developers.
