GRRRRRRRRI know, isn't that fucking annoying. I looked on their support site and they've got a simple solution: buy Fireworks.
I have the Design Premium version of CS3, list price $1799. Their advice to get back the functionality I had in the previous version is to spend even more money on an app I fucking hate. Thanks.
I've found a fairly crappy workaround with my version of CS3, which is to import into a flash document, export the frames as a .png sequence, load those into photoshop (there's now a script which does this, 'Load Files Into Stack') then in the animation window go 'Make Frames From Layers.' Not great, but better than nothing.

Good thinking.That will work passably if the .gif is ripped from a video source but not if it's a true animated gif with different timings on each frame. The reason being, it automatically applies the same timing to each frame regardless of the individual frame speeds in the original gif.

Yeah, there are things about it I like a lotbut I think it's really crappy that they've removed IR without replacing all its functionality.

i get the impression thatthe combining of the product ranges from adobe and macromedia was a bit of a hard task and they rushed it a bit. i imagine the next releases will be better streamlined.

Yeahthat's exactly what I was thinking.
More than anything I hope it doesn't show a decline in Adobe's standards.
