in case you're not receiving product updates from macromedia and you don't
follow many flash blogs
(http://www.markme.com/mxna/index.cfm?category=Flash), i just thought i'd
let you know that a new minor upgrade for flash mx 2004 called "ellipsis" is
now available. if you have mx2004 already you should definitely
upgrade...the new version is a great improvement over the original release
(and even over the last updater, 7.0.1).

download ellipsis:

the key areas of improvement in this upgrade are:

  -Performance / Stability / Resource Usage
  -Usability / Annoying Bugs
  -Components (hey there's a Scrollbar now!)
  -Documentations

for much more detailed information, you should read the copious writings of
mike chambers, flash's product manager for developer relations (and all
around swell/smart guy)...

here's mike's ellipsis announcement:

team's new direction:
