LM1 was sooooo easy to create animated swf projects that it indeed was close to becoming a FLASH killer. (oh yes I remember those posts)

IMHO, LM2, with its bent towards actionscripting to imitate MM, was a bad mistake, even though it was this group that insisted upon it.
Hind site is 20/20 ..IMHO, instead they should have maintained their original concept and taken it further... LM2 should have centered on more of LM1's ease of use... you know.. the WYSIWYG editors.

LM1 was cool in that regard. But no.... their guys wanted to challenge MM.... not cool, leading to defeat.. sigh, but that's war.

If one wanted more actionscripting, then buy MM, it is the best at demanding this high learning curve and providing great results, plus
it was improving constantly. A hellava leg up! But it could/should have been that if one wanted less of a learning curve, then buy LM2 or LM3 or LM8. It would not be long before MM would have been busy trying to become the LM Killer. "SALES"

For you folks that still think DOS and MACs are significant... if the hated Gates had of taken Adobe's approach to competition then where do you think we would be today. Hmmm, could be a great speculative post in its own right.
