RE:Director vrs Flash

[doucet]

Well, Director has many advantages over other authoring programs, such

as Authorware (also made by Macromedia). You can do limited

vector/bitmap creation/editing in Director, but other programs such as

Fireworks are much better at this task.


Each authoring program has its pluses and minuses. Authorware is great

for CBT. Director is great for presentation pieces and interactivity.

Flash is...well, you all know about how cool flash is. The only think

offhand that Flash and Director have in common is the use of a

timeline (score in Director). Authorware uses a flowline, much like a

flowchart for icon execution.


BTW, I will get that link to everyone who has responded about the

Director 8 Training CD-ROM later on today.
