I take it you don't think Flash MX is a suitable authoring environment for Flash movies? > But when Macromedia introduced �Contribute� is was insulting. Trust > me.

That target market does not include ColdFusion developers (in general) nor does it include Flash developers. I'm a little puzzled as to why you think it is "insulting"? > !!!!

Well, neither CF Studio nor HomeSite+ (which is essentially CF Studio anyway) would be suitable vehicles for developing RIAs. Dreamweaver MX has integration with Flash MX and Fireworks MX as well as Web Service browsers and CFC browsers and wizards. If you're looking for a Macromedia tool to help you build RIAs, you're better off looking at DWMX + FLMX than anything else. I use DWMX for all my CFMX development and my ActionScript. Then I use FLMX to create the visual stage and compile the ActionScript into a movie. That's a pretty good workflow. Naturally, we're always looking for specific ways to improve the tools and RIAs are very important to us so we want to help people build them more easily.
