Uh oh! Ultradev isn't exactly a walk in the park first time out (IMHO),
even for those familiar with Macromedia products. Macromedia makes great
tools, but you really don't get the full value out of them unless you
know what all those little windows in the properties, etc. boxes are for
and what happens when you change their values. Buy a really FAT Ultradev
developers book/books for him and tell him that it is required reading -
all of it - to get Ultradev to work properly..

ROTFLMAO!!! Most of us would not be in business if it wasn't for text
editors.
