I just wanted to point out MMF2's amazing little feature: customising toolbars. I just properly used it for the first time today, and now I only use my own toolbar and have ditched the rest.

New, Open, Save | Storyboard, Frame, Event | Frame Navigator | Zoom | Run

Just a couple of things I'd like some advice on:

1) Is there any way to dock this thing on the left sidebar and have the icons arranged horizontally?

2) How do I add Separators? (they're not actually in the toolbar as in the above example)

I can see the point of having customizable toolbars in programs, but to be honest once I know where things are I don't really need to change them. Let alone the fact that I barely even use that toolbar at the top, really just the project navigator and the actual menubar at the top of the application.

I think it would have to be an extremely frustrating layout for me to need to change the position of buttons.

I use a couple of things from a few toolbars, but docking them all eats into the frame editor space. I agree about changing an apps layout being disorienting. I still remember trying to get used to Macromedia's 'MX' series when it was released ><

Wow, holding space lets you drag the view around like in Photoshop. I never knew! I'm sure I'd tried it before.. didn't spacebar do something else in previous MMF versions? Anyway, that's a very handy feature. It also works in the event editor.
