It's a nice option for smaller shops, at least it appears that way. Perhaps one or two Pro versions for the lead animators, and the rest of the team just focuses on keyframes, timing and making it look nice.

I'll stick with my Pro version, but it's interesting to see Macromedia slowly lurch towards the animation audience. Or frustrating, depending on how you look at it.

Hmm.
Aaron, I guess you should now ask flash animators if they use the basic or pro version.
I remember when flash costs $299.
I know companies have to make money but the price of the software just keeps going and going and going.

So one would pretty much be left with Flash MX (2004). Can’t determine if they left the video codec alone…

Check out Moho from

It’s the best value animation tool I’ve used and supports flash export. It has bones and filters. I’m loving it….
