Hi Liam,

at first you cant compare them, coze Director is an Authoringtool for

all kinds

of multimedia, flash is specialized for WEB-use, even if you CAN do

other things

with it. So Director is more versatile in general, coze of Lingo (the programing-language).


If you´re good in Flash and you have a "linear project" as you say, why bother?

Just do it with Flash if you CAN achieve what you want with it. Theres

no need to

hassle around with Lingo if you dont know it!


Of course you can do CD-Roms with Flash, why not? Just take care to the right

paths - and you re done! (Almost ;-))


HTH,

Alex

Well, well - seems you had a hard day and didnt like things though...

Why? To my customer (and me) it seemed very clear (is it language-problem?)

I m sorry but, if you talk about the 2 arrows at the bottom:

they re for scrolling the pages vertically...no click, just mouseover.

Well, I´m also sorry for that, but the customer wanted to nest a 2nd Site

(wich is actually the part "New Media"), wich you can

only reach thru this button (from there). Once you re in the "New media"-

part, there is another button wich brings you back.

(It seems to me you didnt take you re time so much, cause as you know,

flash takes some time to load...)

This is absolutely true. But. where should i put the button?

(You know that scene: you re already done with everything, customer says:

i would like to have a music on/off-button, do you redesign the complete

site then?

No. You can t, after 6 months just before release...


So, i m very sorry you disliked the site, still many thanks for your time

and comments on it!


regards,

Alex
