Only used Flash MX from macromedia, and handcode in notepad... interested to see what happens.

And the good news in all this:

"How long will it take to integrate Flash Player and Adobe Reader? It will be a multiyear effort. Ultimately, our goal is to combine both in a single client. Combining PDF and Adobe Reader with Flash and the Flash Player will allow us to deliver a truly ubiquitous platform that sits on virtually every device. We will build on that to create compelling customer solutions."

Too bad it will take so long. I install both plugins on my systems so having it as 1 plugin instead will be nice.


Great... Now they'll be trying to cram that evil PDF reader down my throat every time I visit a site that uses Flash. Dammit 🙁

hmm, as long as it doesn't affect load times (flash player already loaded) then it really wouldn't matter. Besides load times, what do you have against Adobe Reader ?

Flash is awesome and pretty easy to work in.

Dreamweaver is great for the WYSIWYG audience.

Not sure about their other products.

I used Cold Fusion 4.5 back when I worked for another company. It was a great product then.


Dreamweaver is the number 1 application for webdesigner professionals. to say WYSIWYG audience would be incorrect.

Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG application. The people who use this application are it's audence. It has a designers/graphic front end (called Design View) and you simply don't do everything in code. I don't know ANYONE who purchases Dreamweaver to do hardcoding only. That would be a huge waste of money. Notepad or wordpad would be more than enough.

Therefore...Dreamweaver is for the WYSIWYG audence. I AM a web developer/designer.

I used Dreamweaver for hardcoding before moving completely to VS.Net. I used to do everything in Notepad, but simple things like color coding and advanced find/replace searches made Dreamweaver well worth the cost.

You could have gotten a much cheaper or even free product to do that.

Doesn't change the fact that Dreamweaver is still a WYSIWYG.
