Specific to yours anyway. Regardless, i can definitely see the frustration. I'm more keen on Adobe fixing the ridiculous issues with the Flash CS3 UI though. The insane depth sorting of windows (i love it when my library tab comes out underneath the output window) and how CS3 basically crawls whenever i drag a window (nice fancy transparency effect there) really, really, really detract from the other benefits of upgrading. Thank god i only script in Flashdevelop.
I'm surprised the new actions record clipboard dimensions for copy actions. That's pretty incredible. - Andreas R ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Sacks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, September 6, 2007 1:16:31 AM (GMT+0100) Europe/Berlin Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Photoshop CS3 breaks Flash development workflow It's not OT because it's specific to Flash development.
