I use swish for simple projects, but flash mx is better for me with the advanced features.

I have both programs but feel that swish interface is very simple and easy to use. Flash is more complictated but you can definitely do more things with it.

I severely dislike Powerpoint. I can't do squat on it.


Flash MX is probably better overall, Swish just doesn't appeal to me.

Although, being the cheapskate I am, if I didn't have someone to give me Flash MX and the whole Macromedia MX studio, I'd use Swish. :D

Swish is OK and easy to use, but it is very limited. The animations which you can create with it also run much slower than those done in Macromedia Flash.

As I've said before, it's sort of like Visual Basic compared to other programming languages.

i support what you said spectre. swish isnt much comparing it to Flash Mx 2004. flash can create such animations as u cannot create with swish.
