I've been messing with Flash the past few days, and the IK (bones) tool is my favorite added feature. It makes creating walk cycles easier, and also makes animations more interesting. One thing you should note is that the arms and legs all have to be on seperate layers. If you try using the whole body shape, the movements get messed up.

The 3d tool is nice, but it only adds an imitation. Some of the 3d stuff can be done by using the free transform tool. But overall it is a useful feature for what can't be done with the free transform tool.

The spray brush tool is also a nice feature. It allows you to not just spray pain with colors, but with symbols also. There are some really cool things that can be done with this, such as backgrounds.

Overall, if you think you're going to use these tools a lot, then I recommend you upgrade. If not, then don't.

Flash has been out for half a year and still doesn't work for me at all. It will crash every time I create a symbol! This means that I can't use it for very long obviously! Therefore Flash is completely worthless to me at the moment. Fireworks has very similar problems with crashing. Very Frustrating for an upgrade I spent $600 on (for Adobe Design Premium.)
