I'm thinking about learning flash. I have all Adobe products, but notice that there wasn't a "LiveMotion CS" upgrade announced, and that more than half of the examples on Adobe's LiveMotion support website are using OS 9.

Being that it hasn't been updated in a long time, and that nothing appears in the works - have they moved on?

I've seen the majority of review give the "edge" to flash development on LiveMotion 2.0 over Flash MX, but if I'm going to pick one to learn with I'd like it to continue to evolve.

Any insight on this (should I go with the stagnant LiveMotion 2.0 or Flash MX)?

Thanks,
BD

I knew something was up:

"Effective November 15, 2003, Adobe will no longer distribute LiveMotion 2.0. Though Adobe has decided to concentrate its efforts in other areas, we want to thank our loyal LiveMotion customers for their support. Adobe will maintain person-to-person technical support for LiveMotion until March 31, 2004. In addition, complimentary technical support will be available until further notice via the Adobe Support Knowledgebase and User to User Forums on the Adobe Web site."


Glad I went with Flash MX.
