Flash MX 2004 Updater

Jul 27

The long awaited Flash MX 2004 updater is finally here! It’s dubbed as Flash 7.2 and supposedly addresses over 100 bugs. I just finished installing it so I’ll post my results here. The main things that I’m looking forward to are:

- IDE launches faster, more stable
- Fla’s compile up to 50% faster
- More component documentation

I know a lot of my frustration have been large source files taking anywhere from 15-20 seconds to compile. Another bug that I’ve run into several times is switching between a source file after it’s compiled to an ActionScript file. On several occasions this operation has crashed my entire IDE. Anyway, kudos to MM on this release and I’m looking forward to giving it a go. If you’re interested in updating (as you well should be) then check out:
