No crashes, but in a project with lots of design elements, we’re finding that after any work in the library, the whole application freezes for 10-20 seconds – to the point where Windows assumes it has stopped responding. Same issue when using Undo.

I’m finding the quality of Flash CS3 about on par with the original Flash MX 2004.. remember that horrible experience?

I’m hoping we get an update to CS3, similar to when Adobe released the MX 2004 7.2 update, which was much more stable.

Thanks BM.
I ended up buying a dell PC instead. I still think Macs are too expensive. I see a lot of people switching to mac lately, and they always say they never want to go back… oh well…

I use a mac. From fresh os and apps install on day one, flash has crashed too much to be considered a final product.

I suspect, the networked share environement has a lot to do with it in my particular case.

I want to work on a PC again.

I use a mac and I never really had a problem with it. I upgraded to Flash CS3 and don’t have any complaints either on that issue.
