I agree with you there. Over the years, I've downloaded the Flash trial on four different occasions. Each time, just as I start to get into it, my trial expires. Some may say, "just buy it and then you'll figure it out". Well, it's a catch-22: I don't have any projects that require it yet, so I'm not going to buy it until there's a need, but I'm never going to have a need because I can't learn enough to feel comfortable and show any competent work in it. I'm not complaining, I can live my life without completely learning Flash, but I think a 30 day trial on any programming type of app is ridiculous. Bare minimum should be 60 days or better yet, 60 uses of the trial app. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 11:48 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Trio application That looks good, Mark. I'm going to be checking out that sample app to see if I can make any headway with Flash MX. Someone was remarking recently that it would be good if one of the apps they were testing didn't expire in 30 days, which they felt wasn't enough time to learn to use an app and evaluate it. If feel the same way about Flash MX. I don't have 30 days straight to devote to attempting to learn and use it, especially the ActionScript aspect. It would be much better if the apps just watermarked the project files and movies produced, but allowed unlimited practice. Now my 30 days have expired and I haven't even begun to spend enough time on it to determine if I can make it work appropriately for my apps and whether or not to make a radical shift in how I build apps from html-based to Flash-based. MM, if you're listening, how about a non-expiring, watermarking trial version of Flash MX. It's a new paradigm you're asking us to learn and evaluate in a short 30 days! Some of us have to keep working on paying project while that going on, leaving precious little time within 30 days to use the program! Thanks for putting that up Mark. Were the secondary pages, especially those linked from the "Service Manager" movie, supposed to show anything else, or just be blank? The page background was there on the secondary pages, but no info... Rick -----Original Message----- From: Mark A.

I've hosted it temporarily at: http://68.15.235.127/flash/servicemanager/ if anywone wants a look. It's pretty nifty. I especially like the "add part" feature that checks inventory. -mk Mark A.
