Hi Marcus, > Therefore you have 2 camps... those that develop on the server side, and > those that develop on the client side.
In most cases, this is unfortunate but true - the two sides are heavily dependent on each other. > Flash has a great interface for developing time-frame based animations > with support for many forms of image and audio mediums. However, the > "programming" part has left me with that hollow feeling. To many, Flash is for animation and intros. However, since Flash 5 came along, many hardcore programmers (myself included) have jumped onto the bandwagon because it offers a relatively powerful programming language. In fact, many important programming methodologies for building applications is possible in Flash's ActionScript: OOP, class/instance, inheritance, polymorphism, listeners, event models, design patterns...etc. With Flash MX, support is even better for building web applications. I agree (as with most things) ActionScript has room for improvement, but I'm curious which part has left you with a hollow feeling? > That being said, I have yet to test out the new features of MX, so perhaps > there is something still to get excited about. As a developer, I'm very excited about Flash MX (even after four months of using it). From a designer's standpoint, it is also very exciting as it offers tons of new features. I'm sure most would agree when it is released in just a few days. The bigger picture is yet to be announced though. Getting comfortable in both client-side and server-side is definitely be an asset.
