Say Goodbye to FLASH Buttons?!

[CrazyCopyCat]

Previous posts I've seen on the subject of Flash Button extensions indicate
that these options have been removed in the CS4 version!

James, Flash text and Flash buttons were removed for several reasons. First of
all, they were quite primitive in the effects they created. More importantly,
many inexperienced designers used them without understanding the implications
of embedding text and navigational elements in Flash. Any Flash elements need
the user to have the Flash player embedded in their browser. Although Flash
Player is very widespread, its use is not 100 percent universal. As a result,
such people see no content or navigation if everything is embedded in Flash
elements. If you understand how to use Flash, you should create such elements
in Flash CS4 Professional or Flex.

If this is true then I would like to be the one to decide whether I should use
this option for the Web I'm creating!

I'd really hate to manually have to add these codes into everypage, and
although I've used Dreamweaver since it's first version, doing this may perhaps
get me to re-evaluate whether or not to switch to MS Expression which will me a
hassle but all the same I will do!

Anyhow, I hope this get's fixed, cause I think all of the extension options
are an important part of the software! Alot of us have been using the software
since it was first released, have bought numourus extentions for Dreamweaver
and I think it sucks that these options are not included since they have been a
major part of the software from the very beginning!

What I add into the Website is my business and I would think it would be in
Adobes best interest to support the features their customers use!

Comments anyone? (Please me kind

This is the point, not that many people use this feature and keeping it around takes time and effort to make sure it still works in the new version of Dreamweaver, time and effort that would be better spent on testing and updating features that are used, as well as any new features being added.

Remember that noone is pulling the old version of Dreamweaver off of your system, so you should still be able use the older version to access the old feature.
