What is the difference between Educational Flash, Regular 2004 MX and MX Professional?

Are the ones for sale on Ebay all bootlegs?

Cheers.

I'm not sure about educational flash, however I expect it to be much like regular flash for the vrs it is. As for MX vs Professional MX there isn't much difference. There are some advanced stuff, but for the most part, you probably arn't going to notice a difference. As for Ebay, for it to be sold on Ebay, it shouldn't be bootleged but really I don't trust anything thats not from the manufacture or a lagitimate source. You'll have to take your chances. But sence you are looking into flash, I really recommend looking into just getting flash 8. Its new, about 2 months old is all.

oh, and if you plan on using XML I believe 8 has better XML support then MX. I've personaly had some odd issues with XML myself with flash MX. Also, flash 8 is suppost to have better CSS support as well. There are actually alot of nice features that 8 has over MX. You can find out more on macromedias web site ~> macromedia.com/flash
