Unhappy with Flash CS4

Why “z” is not the shortcut key for zoom any more? There’s no “z” in “Bind Tool” but why it’s configured this way? I thought Adobe is trying to standardize all shortcut keys across all its software?

Why the help page is online? After I managed to set the help offline, I realized they took out Actionscript 2 references.

Fuck you whoever made these decisions!

    grow up…

    you can change the keyboard shortcut, it takes all of two minutes.

    help files online means that if there are changes to be made, they are made to just the online docs, and not have to foot the bill for hundreds of thousands of people to download the updates.

    and this blog somehow made it onto the Adobe Feeds :s

    CS4 is not cheap. I’m expacting it working awesomely out of the box. No matter how fast your internet is, it will never be as fast as opening a file from your local machine.

    Oh my god! The Zoom tool? Fucking really? I start a new job, and they buy me the latest version and BAM! I cant work. I have to learn the interface again. Who the fuck uses Bind more than zoom. Someone there is a really sadistic asshole. I went to change the prefernces, and there is not entry for “Zoom”. Only zoom in and zoom out! WTF?

    I remember when all the courseware I had shipped all year long would not work becasue of one fucking security update…
