Although at first sight the new version of Flash appears to be not much of an upgrade from 4, once you look deeper into the program it becomes clear that Macromedia have completely redesigned the way it works. It is still familiar and easy to use, to the extent that a child could learn it, but when you want to go deeper into web design the oppurtunity is there with Flash.
The inclusion of ActionScript is a big change from Flash 4, a lot of people will be unhappy with having to relearn how to program more complex actions, but anyone who is going to be doing anything that complecated should have no trouble picking up ActionScript. It is based on the standard for Javascript and therefore has much in common with any programming language, ... Read More:

This is a wonderful collection of 24 plugins for graphics programs such as Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. My favourites are KPT Fibre Optix and KPT Hyper Tiling, but they are all fun to play with.
The interface is quite complex, beautifully designed and very different from other computer programs to look at. Each function comes in a floating window which you can move to anywhere within the dialogue box that suits you, and the functions are accessed via drop down menus in the floating windows. Each window can save presets and there is in addition a preset button which allows you to access the overall presets for the relevant plugin. A full PDF file manual is included on the disk and it's a good idea to read it.

I bought this product as it seems to offer me what I needed - to get a basic website up and running.
However as a novice, I have discovered that it's far from straight forward. The manual is aimed at people who know what they're doing, rather than the beginner. Furthermore, as someone else has correctly pointed out here, the support pages are in German with no English translation.
I constructed a website and uploaded it only to find things were missing wihout the slightest indication as to how to correct it.
It seems a decent product IF you know what you are doing with it. If you don't, like me, you'll be frustrated by it. At best, the supporting manual and website are worthless. :-(

There is a problem with .net 2003 and IIS, if one wants to use the asp side of .net one needs to install .net on XP professional after framework1 and IIS are on the computer, else one will encounter problems.
There is also a conflict between asp.net and frontpage which needs to be addressed by Microsoft.

i chose this software over macromedia as i liked the thought of the seamless interface with photoshop 6.0.
i wasnt disappointed either. its wonderfully intuitive and the inspector palette is a total joy. the fact that it incorporates 'point and shoot' speeds ur work up and allows you to concentrate on ur web site and its design rather on being a geeky technic.
recommended totally .... from beginner to advanced.
once again adobe prove that they are first, bar none

I bought this software with a view to improving my website and Web Creator 2.0 certainly does has some good features such as the facility for video and some really good graphics effects as well as the excellent ability to view the page at any time during creation. The main drawback though is that you seem to be fixed to the page size of the templates. For example I found it impossible to increase page length for long texts or lists. I think that the software is very suitable for beginners as it gives the opportunity to create impressive looking pages quickly but if you want something more proffessional I think that you may have to look back to Microsoft.
