We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

The guys here at www.FlashFocus.nl have been hard at work to test each and every new feature in Flash 8 and Flash Player 8. They describe what they have uncovered in a series of articles. A great read for all Dutch Flashers.

Indeed it does. In the exclusive Q&A session MXDJ conducted with 4 key Macromedia execs in conjunction with the launch of Studio 8, Jim Guerard - Vice President of Product Management and Product Marketing at Macromedia - was completely open when asked about that. Guerard says, in the Special Issue: "FreeHand was replaced by the addition of Contribute and FlashPaper to better fulfill the typical design-develop-maintain workflow needs of our customers. FreeHand is both an important and successful product, and will continue on as part of the Macromedia family of products."
Hope that helps.
