Résumé

Tabbed panels are out (wasn't there an Adobe lawsuit related to U.S. Patent #5,546,528 on such matters)? Collapsing panels are in (and we like the change). Several panels are gone completely (for example, the Instance Panel and many of its compadres migrate to a new Property Inspector, similar to Dreamweaver's). Others, notably the Actions Panel, are thoroughly overhauled. Macromedia even undid a few of the confusing changes they made in Flash 5 (for example, frame selection).

So, if you're planning to upgrade to Flash MX (and there are plenty of reasons to do so), set aside some learning time. Set aside even more if you're new to Flash altogether: the more features Flash gets, the more you need to know. Curl up by your computer with a copy of Sams Teach Yourself Macromedia Flash MX in 24 Hours, and get comfy. Kerman's taught Flash in locations from Iceland to Oklahoma to Australia -- and you're next.
