I just wish that flash would support importing 3D modles (e.g: .obj files). This would help us alot in encriching our websites with interactive 3D models.

I also wish that actionscript would be able to connect to database without any intermediate layers (like PHP or .net ..etc)

Thanks.

I would take back my CAPS.

and replace them with, Dude lets figure out how to either work with or output to JQuery.  Totally lovin the Wallabe project.

A stricter Actionscript 4.

Most important of all is a native converter for mobile platform. Then I can stay in flash.

I'm lossing my Job, please add everything mentioned above , all my company's clients are now withdrawing of the use of flash technology.

STORYBOARD VIEW

This view would put all the frames of your timeline into a bridge style thumbnail view with size slider for quick 'at a glance' viewing of entire chunks of the timeline. Like a Storyboard does. This storyboard would appear based on whatever timeline you were in at the time. Everything from the main timeline, to the timeline of a symbol you're inside of. (Exporting timeline, and going back and forth between Flash and Bridge could work sure, but so could hand-delivering my own mail). The idea would be to make it as immediate, user-friendly, and uninhibiting to creative flow as the rest of Flash has been.

Support for Strokes and Gradient Fills for textfields and textareas natively, without having to resort to masking or converting text to shapes. Quickly applying gradients and strokes to text already exists in Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects. Though I haven't used it, I would presume it's easy to do with Indesign as well. Stands to reason it should be made easy to do in Flash.

UI enhancements:

1. Sound Envelope Window: Putting a resize tab in the corner woud be great. Also, slowing down the scroll speed would be nice. As is, it's a little finicky and very easy to overshoot where you want to be.

2. Addressing Keyboard Shortcut file corruption:

A custom Keyboard Shortcut file (.mfx, .wfx) has to be locked after being created to prevent Flash form randomly re-assigning  new Keyboard Shortcuts and corrupting the set.

Also, Flash always opens with the default Keyboard Shortcut set loaded, even if the menu shows otherwise.

Every time I launch Flash, I have to open this menu and hit OK to enable the last-used Keyboard Shortcut set, even though it appears as though it is already in use.

3. Address Property Panel layout.

It appears this dead space exists so the drop-down menu for the Color Effect Style has room to expand, but the Looping Options drop down doesn't have a similar spacer beneath it. Having that space pushes the Looping Options off screen in many Workspaces including the default state of the Animation Workspace. Removing the empty space would make all the options on that panel visible in a much smaller size.

4. Lockable panels: A scrubbable timeline is great, but directly above the timeline is a space almost exactly the same size,  which, if "scrubbed"  by accident, will un-dock the timeline from the workspace and float it overtop the stage.

Layer parenting. It's a killer trying to to cutout character animation without this simple feature; makes everything take so much longer. IK is inadequate and unstable. A moving camera would be nice too. At the moment you if you want to pan across a scene you have to put everything into a graphic symbol and move it in front of the camera, a very cumbersome workaround.  And bring back the CS3 motion graph editor.  

Hey I know it's too late but dag nabit...I have to put this out there just in case Adobe makes a patch to do this...but I recently purchased the eLearning Suite...primarily for Captivate...and what do you know, I go to publish a Captivate EXE and I have the option of selecting an icon and giving my EXE a name...I'm surprised Adobe didn't hear me crying 3,000 miles away...

So, that's what I'd like to see in Flash...when I publish to EXE, I want to use my icon and give my project a name...for years, I've RESOURCE HACKING and I shouldn't have to for what Captive has proven can be done...

Essentials for CS6:

1. COMPLETE support for AIR Native Extensions (e.g. ability to compile ANE swc directly into APK from CS6 IDE withouth having to hack a command line solution)

2. Ability to set CUSTOM COMPILER OPTIONS in the CS6 IDE  (just like FlashBuilder already has that ability)

3. FULL CSS SUPPORT on all UI components (especially TextField and TextArea components)

Hotkeys for cycling brush modes or selecting them directly.

This is very theraputic. Does anyone from Adobe read these?

Suport SDL , FULL GPU/CPU Support , Double Buffering , Rendering can handle  1000 HD animate movieclip at 60.

Also Full Screan lags really bad.

Thats all I want really.

Yeah! Now that would be AWEsome!

Who knows...

When publishing a movie, if there is a compiler error, do not compile a non-working swf which I have to click and close.

Just abort compilation and save me time.

- Exporting assets as SWFs

- A better brush tool (See ToonBoom's features)

- Customizable UI and colours

- 64 ******* BIT

- Make it not crash every 10 seconds when handling large files

- Pretty much everything said in this thread. Why don't we have them in Flash CS6?

can someone help me? whenever I use FLASH Cs6 and use the line tool, brush tool, oval tool, anything that draws on screen pretty much. whenever im done placing my line or shape, a PURPLE box appears around it, this makes it soooo much harder to animate and takes alot longer to do so. can someone please tell me how i can restore my flash so I get NO PURPLE boxes around my shapes?

While a few things for the web developers would be nice, can you please make another release that focuses on the ANIMATORS? Haven't had one of those since CS4, and they usually tend to build on animation tools substantially. And kindly include a few (all) of these things:

•Ability to sync MovieClips to the timeline (through some checkbox option)

•Authortime Pixel Bender filters (imported to Library and available in Filters Panel)

•ToonBoom's brush tool

•Independent X, Y, Z keyframes (behaving like every other property curve)

•Ability to parent one MovieClip to another (instance-based, author-time, like parenting in After Effects)

•3D depth sorting

•Abilty to toggle “Layer” blending independent of blending mode or filter

•Moar blend modes! (Including AND and XOR)

•Motion Tweens and Classic Tweens on the same layer

•Polystar Tool options inside Properties Panel

•Polystar Primitive (with Corner Radius, Inner Radius, etc.)

•Ability to change Graphic symbols’ Play/Loop/Frame settings mid-tween (maybe even keyframed in Motion Editor)

•Mutiple eases per property per tween span

•Easier quadratic curves in Motion Editor

•Ability to exceed 100% in the “Advanced” Color Effect (left column)

•Custom easing for Shape Tweens

•Ability to toggle between constraining proportions and constraining values themselves in the Transform Panel’s “scale” property (the latter was the behavior pre-CS4)

•Make selecting Tween Spans the same as selecting other frames by default (frame-based)

•Ability to import WMA and WMV files

•Access of Shape properties in ActionScript (an inverse to the Drawing API)

•Muting of individual sounds and/or layers with sound

•“Angle” setting for blur (to make it bi-directional)

•For loops in Pixel Bender

•Special blurs for different properties (rotation, skew, scale, etc.) to simulate motion blur

•Illustrator's symbolism tools (shifter, scruncher, sizer, spinner, stainer, and screener)

•Diffusion curves (Orzan et. al. 2008)

•MIDI support (including MIDI events in ActionScript)

oh yeah, and make it stop crashing.
