help with MX info

[disfasia]

I have not upgraded from my old Flash for the past few years. I have many sites written in this older version (I do not remember the version #). These are some of my questions:

1. I would like to know if I will have severe problems adapting to the new Flash MX 20004?

2. I have used flash with the embed for quicktime films--is the professional version worth the price tage or might I best be off saving the money and continuing to embed.

3. Is the MX studio worth the trouble (I honestly write my html by hand and have not yet really needed Dreamweaver, plus there is freeware that I think would do as good a job?)?

Any and all information will be greatly valued!

Cheers,

If you were using Flash 5, which I was a couple weeks ago...UPGRADE!!! I did it and man, what a difference.

The last version I have is Flash 4--will my .fla s work with MX?

Thanks,

I know when opening them in 5, the 4 files were converted automatically, so I would imagine that mx2004 would do the same...there is a pretty big leap, though, going from 4 to mx2004.

Thanks...

Could you let me know about these two other questions? Thanks again
