FLASH: Flash Help System; what a crock of sh..!

[flashy junior]

Has anyone come accross the fact that the Flash help system is the worst of 

any program on the market - even ones without any help!  :)

Truely, I mean to get the syntax right with targeting variables, etc one 

must use total guess work.

First you realise it requires the browser(slow), then you realise the search 

engine is this crap external java applet(slow again), then you realise that 

the help that ships with flash would be really great if you didn't already 

know how to tween a shape, then you realise that there are virtually no 

decent syntax examples that are correct for demonstration purposes of 

actionscript, then you go online to the technotes(slow again) and find out 

that there is a black hole here too if you're looking for real-life syntax 

examples.


Why?
