Question

No ActionScript 3 support for Slide Presentations?

I noticed that in CS3, the Slide Presentation format does not support AS3. I have searched every inch of the web including this Adobe site, and I can't find any information on this. Is Adobe ending it's development and/or support of Slide based Flash? Is Adobe fazing out the Slide Presentation format?

Although I am not a big fan of Slides, I am directed to develop courseware using it... So, this is a very important question for future development.

Any Comments on this?

there are plenty of reasons to use as3 but they don't seem compatible with using a template.

why do you need as3 for a slideshow?

Simple, I always upgrade flash, and upgrade my knowlegd about new features. I did it from as1 to as2, and I'm trying to do this to AS3. But, some features are disapeared like, accordion, slide presentation classes,
I know that AS3 is better ans faster, so, I need more reasons to want migrate to it?

Me too. Adobe/Macromedia really turned their back on this tool, in my opinion.

I also would like to know if there are similar tools in AS3 or Flex that work like Slide Presentation, and Why this feature was removed?
