So...if you've been following my twitter postings you'll know that I downloaded the trial version of Flash CS3 a couple of days ago and have been playing (i.e. wanting to smash its physicalessness into nothingness...if that's even possible) with it. The whole reason for this excursion was because
Sothink Quicker was crashing whenever I tried importing video that I had worked with in Photoshop CS3. I just couldn't get it to work. So, I resined myself to getting Flash CS3 and the $699 price tag that goes with it. However after playing with it a little I found myself becoming more and more frustrated over (what is in my opinion an) overly complex action script set up. I mean come on! I'm a creator I don't want to lean another language just to make a button or go from one scene to another I just want to tell the software to "make this do that." and be done with it. That's what's so good about Sothink...simple. I can make a functional button with one line of action script...and to make a scene go from one to another...get this I don't haft to do anything. It just goes. Anyway so now I'm back working with Sothink Quicker and have found a video encoder (cost $45) that will convert the .mov files so that Quicker can read them. I know some day I'll need to become proficient with Adobe Flash but, I'm going to put that off for as long as possible.
