Rating: - Web Designer's Dream
Macromedia Studio MX 2004 is a complete package of web designer software. The package includes the following programs: Dreamweaver MX 2004, Fireworks MX2004, Flash MX 2004, Freehand MX 2004, Coldfusion MX 6.1.
Each one of these programs is a great for web developers and designers. Being brought together in one package makes them even handier to use. That is if I work, for example, in Dreamveaver and have to edit a flash object, a double click on this object will open Flash MX.

Rating: - Excellent Gateway to Advanced Website Programming
Macromedia Dreamweaver is the first obvious starting point of this package. Dreamweaver is an excellent package that can be used to build full-featured websites.

The next thing to learn would be Fireworks, which is a fairly web-centric graphics program. Fireworks can do many of the things ... Read More

As a package, this is probably the best one to buy out there!
As individual programs, there are better ones out there. Still a little pricy from Macromedia, but extremely good value as a web design package. It's best asset is the online tutorials, which make initially confusing programs, easier to deal with and more user friendly.
Rating: - Still Number One
Macromedia continues to improve on their ground-breaking Internet development suite of applications, bringing the MX versions to a completely new level of versatility and functionality with this release. While I found MX (the previous version) to be bug-ridden and slow, MX 2004 is a huge improvement not only in performance and stability but functionality as well. I've read reviews claiming that this is the most buggy version of the software to date, but they have all been for the Mac version. While I ... Read More
Rating: - Great upgrade, with one glaring exception
All in all this upgrade is good, not tremendous.
The problem lies in the changes to the ActionScript Panel: The Normal mode has been removed. This means that you need to learn how to write all your ActionScript yourself, without the great aids that MX offered. There are still a few little helper menus you can use, but if you don't understand the syntax of ActionScript in detail they aren't much help. If you intend to use Flash without becoming a programmer, choose the MX version, not MX ... Read More
