I had this twice today, trying to save a very small (100k), simple (3 frames, 1 font type) FW 04 file:
(link to bigger image: note top readout with loads of free memory and another super-disappointing upgrade, Acrobat 6 Pro, using 100MB memory...)

And Macromedia wonder publicly why people are not satisfied with their MX 04 Upgrade...

I personally feel macromedia products are very slow and the code needs a lot of optimizations. MX 2004 is worse than MX.

It's almost like Macromedia is trying drive their Mac customers into Adobe's arms.

C'mon, guys. If you're going to take the time to make OS X versions, make 'em right.

I've had that warning in Fireworks MX too by the way - it's not *only* a 2004 feature. At least Macromedia don't demand you upgrade for that piece of retro nostalgia)

Cool. I never managed to get this in MX... which is probably why I upgraded to MX 04

MX = meaningless
2004 = lame.

Actually, 2004 is downright dangerous. Today I was working with DW MX 04, and deleted files on the remote ftp server. I noticed the browser still rendered the deleted page, and checked the directory. (Screenshot taken after repeated refreshes and logout/login cycles in DW).

Don't trust DW 04's site window.
