in your guys opinions, which version of adobe flash is the best? im hearing alot of "the older one is better" and i dont know if i should keep it at cs6 (the version i have that just kinda corrupted itself) or go to a older version.

Well, some say the older version is better mostly due to the fact that it is easier to use, but if you feel comfortable with the program you're using, and actually understand it, I'd just keep that one.

It doesn't really matter, they are all pretty similar animation wise. The later versions have some more features but most of it is unnecessary for the stick animator. And the older versions are much more light weight (flash 8) and have bigger brush sizes if you like doing your stick figures in brush.

ah well thanks guys. ill go with flash cs5 i guess

the newer versions arent good tbh, i used cs5 for a week before i couldnt open it again. and oh yeah, alot of people use flash 8 so if you give them an fla file, they most likely wouldnt be able to open it.
