I was on this page to get the update and glanced at the reviews. It seems that only the people who have problems with the program bother to write about it. I've been using it for about a year and appreciate its ability to allow me to create professional looking flash animations quickly and easily. People often ask me how I created the header in my web page. I would like to take more credit - but it is just a matter of selecting the type of slide show, adding the images, adjusting how I want it to appear and publishing. There is a bit of a learning curve. A program that has this power will take 30 minutes or so to understand. But once you get it, you can design and change slide shows in a flash (pun intended). If you do much web design, go for the Pro version.
