    I've tried Flash MX, 8, CS3, CS4, CS5, and CS6. 8 and CS3 are the only ones I don't hate.

      @zeldatra I like CS5.5. (Disclaimer: I have only used CS5.5)

        @redenchilada CS5.5 is better than CS5, but only because it crashes a little bit less.

          @zeldatra I like the autosave that seems to have been introduced in CS5.5.

              @neurario It works for me. Often when I don't want it to, too! :c

            @redenchilada I use a plugin that adds autosave to older versions.

              @zeldatra Flash has plugins?

                    @redenchilada They're really useful. Pixel Tools, AS2 IK, vCam, etc

                      @zeldatra I should use some plugins with my flash. Maybe it will make my things suck less. (Even though I mostly use Flash for static drawings at this point :x)

                        @redenchilada Can't help you there. The ones I use, save for AutoSave, are animation tools.

            @redenchilada Autosave has been an option since CS2 or 3, I believe it just because default in 5.5. It is extremely unreliable either way.

              @pinebro Its not in CS2, CS2 corresponds to Flash 8 and I had to get a plugin for that.

                @zeldatra what are plugins even good for? Flash has everything you need in it already.

                  @pinebro I use them for convenience. I have a slider for graphic scrubbing which really helps with lipsync, and a few pixel tools.

                    @zeldatra what do you mean"slider for graphic scrubbing" and "pixel tools"? Onion skinning works fine for lip syncing.

                      @abigpony Say I have multiple frames in a graphic. I can use said scrubber to switch between these frames in the main timeline without having to enter the properties panel and inputting numbers. I keep all of my mouths in one file, and use the slider to scroll between each one. As for pixel tools, it makes.... Pixels... I don't use it all that often, it's meant for sprite animation.

                        @zeldatra I still don't understand that, but that Pixel animator thing seems really cool actually.
