Well I have had a couple of days to play with Flash CS3 and I have to say it’s awesome. Just the UI is worth the upgrade in my opinion. But I found it pretty funny that the first file I ever opened or compiled with it was for FP6 and AS1. I had to laugh a little. Trying to go back and find code and classes in those files was an absolute nightmare. It’s really amazing we ever coded like that. The one thing I wish it had though was the Flex Builder script editor, with code hinting on custom classes and real-time error checking.

One thing to take note of is the target .fla dropdown in the script editor. I have had it default to the wrong file a couple of times without me knowing and having a bunch of errors happen that I couldn’t figure out. The other thing that I have forgotten to do is put “public” in front of “class” when creating classes. If you don’t declare what type of class it is, the compiler will throw an error saying it can’t find it.

I am really looking forward to doing some client projects with it and working with our designers once they get their upgrades.  It’s a great update and kudos to everyone at Adobe.
