Oh, this Flash thing sucks

I had forgotten how miserable it is to build a movie in Flash.

Seriously. It seems like it would be easy, what with layers, and timelines, and a very mostly usable interface.

And then you try to apply motion through tweens, working with text, adjusting alpha layers for fades, and things start to crosswire in the midst of a project, and it hits you:

This would be much easier in Premiere.

Especially since Flash will import a Quicktime file, and so the end user will never know the difference.

Yay, me.

Boo, Flash.
