Hi Robert, There are a number of us here who are in the same boat with you. I regretfully have to tell you that moving your development to windows seems to be the only option at the moment if you want to take advantage of all the new features being developed. I have explored all the options you have stated and currently I also develop with FDT5 in Linux Mint KDE. However I have had to set up a windows dev environment to be able to work with the newer flash player and all the new features. I still hope (albeit a fading hope) that someday there will be a move towards resurrecting the support for developers who prefer Linux as a development platform. For the moment though no cigar. ~a~ www.ayobinitie.com http://mrbinitie.blogspot.com
