    While a few things for the web developers would be nice, can you please make another release that focuses on the ANIMATORS? Haven't had one of those since CS4, and they usually tend to build on animation tools substantially. And kindly include a few (all) of these things:

    •Ability to sync MovieClips to the timeline (through some checkbox option)

    •Authortime Pixel Bender filters (imported to Library and available in Filters Panel)

    •ToonBoom's brush tool

    •Independent X, Y, Z keyframes (behaving like every other property curve)

    •Ability to parent one MovieClip to another (instance-based, author-time, like parenting in After Effects)

    •3D depth sorting

    •Abilty to toggle “Layer” blending independent of blending mode or filter

    •Moar blend modes! (Including AND and XOR)

    •Motion Tweens and Classic Tweens on the same layer

    •Polystar Tool options inside Properties Panel

    •Polystar Primitive (with Corner Radius, Inner Radius, etc.)

    •Ability to change Graphic symbols’ Play/Loop/Frame settings mid-tween (maybe even keyframed in Motion Editor)

    •Mutiple eases per property per tween span

    •Easier quadratic curves in Motion Editor

    •Ability to exceed 100% in the “Advanced” Color Effect (left column)

    •Custom easing for Shape Tweens

    •Ability to toggle between constraining proportions and constraining values themselves in the Transform Panel’s “scale” property (the latter was the behavior pre-CS4)

    •Make selecting Tween Spans the same as selecting other frames by default (frame-based)

    •Ability to import WMA and WMV files

    •Access of Shape properties in ActionScript (an inverse to the Drawing API)

    •Muting of individual sounds and/or layers with sound

    •“Angle” setting for blur (to make it bi-directional)

    •For loops in Pixel Bender

    •Special blurs for different properties (rotation, skew, scale, etc.) to simulate motion blur

    •Illustrator's symbolism tools (shifter, scruncher, sizer, spinner, stainer, and screener)

    •Diffusion curves (Orzan et. al. 2008)

    •MIDI support (including MIDI events in ActionScript)

    oh yeah, and make it stop crashing.

    can someone help me? whenever I use FLASH Cs6 and use the line tool, brush tool, oval tool, anything that draws on screen pretty much. whenever im done placing my line or shape, a PURPLE box appears around it, this makes it soooo much harder to animate and takes alot longer to do so. can someone please tell me how i can restore my flash so I get NO PURPLE boxes around my shapes?

    - Exporting assets as SWFs

    - A better brush tool (See ToonBoom's features)

    - Customizable UI and colours

    - 64 GODDAMN BIT

    - Make it not crash every 10 seconds when handling large files

    - Pretty much everything said in this thread. Why don't we have them in Flash CS6?

    When publishing a movie, if there is a compiler error, do not compile a non-working swf which I have to click and close.

    Just abort compilation and save me time.

    There are different errors, some errors don't publish movie but some errors may allow your app to work. I agree about it has to improve a lot. There are really great ides much better that flash pro.

    Hey there, I have a humble suggestion for the next release of Flash: I think it would be quite beneficial if a schematical could be provided when working with multiple objects in Flash, in order to show details such as which display object(S) are in which sprite or movieclip, which contains which, which display object has which events or what kind of functions are available on the main stage and so on.

    Suport SDL , FULL GPU/CPU Support , Double Buffering , Rendering can handle  1000 HD animate movieclip at 60.

    Also Full Screan lags really bad.

    Thats all I want really.

    Hotkeys for cycling brush modes or selecting them directly.

    This is very theraputic. Does anyone from Adobe read these?

    Frame selection in the timeline behaves inconsistently when a duplicate window is open. Selection highlights are lost as soon as the mouse drag is released, or as soon as an action such as insert frame is performed on the highlighted frame selection (see video). This seems like a very specific and nitpicky bug, but it defeates the purpose of a duplicate window option/feature if timeline editing behavior changes depending on how many windows are open.

    Here's another video demonstrating how layer reordering is disabled when a duplicate window is open.

    Essentials for CS6:

    1. COMPLETE support for AIR Native Extensions (e.g. ability to compile ANE swc directly into APK from CS6 IDE withouth having to hack a command line solution)

    2. Ability to set CUSTOM COMPILER OPTIONS in the CS6 IDE  (just like FlashBuilder already has that ability)

    3. FULL CSS SUPPORT on all UI components (especially TextField and TextArea components)
