So, after doing the survey of Flash users, I’ve made few decisions about how I’m going to continue the development of Flash extensions. Even though a majority of respondents said they were using CS3, there’s still a fair percentage of you folks still using Flash 8 (Flash CS3 was spendy, so who can blame you, right?) so I’ve decided to translate my current Flash tools from CS3 to Flash 8. This won’t be immediate, as I plan to kick out a few other extensions first, and I have to re-write a chunk of code and test it, as there are some important differences between the two Flash versions.

Now then, about Macs. Uh, no real noise from the Mac folks, so I’m not going to test these on a Mac. If you use a Mac and you use Flash CS3, then the Flash extensions I’ve built should work for you. The key word there is “should.” Like I’ve said before, JSFL is a funky language. Test it out and see for yourself. If one of them doesn’t work, let me know and I might get to it.

As for the type of extensions people wanted, they gravitated towards the Designer/Animator tools, then library and file management stuff, and finally code extensions. I’ll build for all 3 groups, but probably lean more on the design and animation extensions until I hear differently.

Thanks again to everyone who filled out the survey. I’ve decided to keep it posted, and thus created a second copy to gather more answers. If you have any Flash extensions you’d like developed, or any other comments, feel free to take the Flash Extensions survey and leave your suggestions.
