Searching for 3rd party software for Flash 5

[mourikise]

Hi,

I'm curious if there are any programs that work with Macromedia Flash 5. I see many really cool clips on the web and I doubt if they are created solely by Flash. I'm aware of a Ulead's program and also the Vecta 3D, but both export .swf files. I'd like a program that can edit and export .fla files.

Any answers are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Indeed. I last visited SysOpt long time ago, but now I'm back!

Swish seems pretty cool, but, as I said, I want to know if there is a program that can edit and save .fla files. Know any good one?

I've looked and looked... and guess what? www.Swishzone.com was it.... I believe... said there are NO programs that make Flash files w/ .fla ... programs that do Flash export into .swf . Creating files w/ the ending of ".fla" is condsidered illegal according to www.swishzone.com
Hope that helps...

Thanks! I wasn't aware of that. But I think this is pretty bad. Couldn't anyone pubish a plug-in for Flash just like in Photoshop? Flash has many capabilities and options by itself, but some operations require much work from the side of the user. A plug-in feature would have given the automation that Flash lacks.

Maybe Macromedia should consider this...
