Version 9; the first Adobe branded version of Flash, to be released with the Adobe Creative Suite 3
Flash CS3 is the first version of Flash released under the Adobe brandname, and features improved integration with Adobe Photoshop, improved vector drawing tools, becoming more like Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Fireworks.
ActionScript 3.0 was released with this version, along with ActionScript Virtual Machine 2.0 (AVM2) for faster code execution and garbage collection[8] New programming features included : strongly typed variables
with type safety, runtime errors, improved events, display list instead
of "depth" system, and many new classes (Socket, ByteArray, Loader,
RegExp, etc.).[9] AS3 allowed entire applications to be written in code, without needing the Flash timeline.

What works
The flash itself works-
tested advanced ActionScript 2 and 3, all the various editing tools and most importantly, the movies compile. All possible publish settings work as well.
What does not
What makes this unusable is user interface. The panels are messed up and objects library is inaccessible.
It is possible to keep hitting f4 and hope that some of the panels will show up and not cover 1/2 of the screen but most of panels will not work anyways.
Also, the non working panels take up space on EVERY desktop and minimizing Flash doesn't help.
Workarounds
What was not tested
I did not test installer, i ran my Flash from pre-installed cs3 suite off Windows hard-drive.
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
Maybe if someone found way how to switch to old style of panels in cs3? Or manage to master these new panels in wine? It would be a real pity because the software itself works, it's just the user interface which makes this unusable and tools inaccessible.
