most probably yes.

yes they should make it like 30 days or something... but still, that isint enough time to get to know a program of this depth well...

actually, they should just opensource the whole thing :P j/k

Nevermind... Ouch! It is a $150! A LOT less than Adobe Flash CS3, but still... I do have a partner though. I would only have to pay $75...

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but Macromedia Flash 8 is made for animations, correct?

Are you able to make games in Flash 8, or are you restricted to animations only?

Yes. I am currently trying the 30 day trial of Flash 8 because of a book I am reading, however, it seems like most people prefer CS3.

What are the major differences between the two?

My Flash CS3 just got here, I'll have more info on it later, have been using Flash 8 until now

Not to me, because I only have to pay $75 of it.

Can I draw a character in it, then animate it? Or do I have to use preset stuff that they already have in there?
