Tough question to provide a suggestion for. I think it really comes down to what environment you're comfortable developing in. What environment you like managing projects, project files, and project deployment in. Case in point, if you're moving around lots of .AS files in your flash project and you find the OSX file interface cumbersome, then that's a strike. I find very little difference in the flash IDE between windows/mac so it's really what your most comfortable with in terms of the operating system's desktop. I find it horrifically useful to use virtuedesktops in OSX with the flashIDE and an external editor to help speed my development process. I also use the FlashDevelop external editor/"IDE" on my windows workstation which is great.
I think the best of both worlds can be found on a mac with at least a core 2 duo intel processor running Parallels with windows. I have flash installed on my mac in OSX and on my parallels installed windows XP on the same machine. Just some thoughts. -- Jim Palmer !
