Sorry to everyone who wants AfterEffects to be easier, but AE is far superior to Flash when it comes to control. Editing of keyframe data and f-curves in AE provides so much control. Yes -- there is a learning curve, but its worth it. An AE timeline in Flash would rock.

I wholeheartedly, 100% agree. This thread makes me sad, because it seems that everyone is anxious to get AE to behave and perform more like Flash, when AE is the superior product when it comes to control. For those of you who say AE is not intuitive, that is probably because you used Flash first. For those of us who used AE first, Flash is not intuitive at all, and takes away a significant amount of control that we're used to.

I hope the committee at 2Advanced knows this much. Please, please do not take away the tremendous timeline control that AE offers.
