Re: FLASH: Using Flash v. Director for CD projects...input from professionals

[Gahlord Dewald]

Bryan,


I don't know the answers to all of your questions because I don't know Director

that well but I'll crack at the ones I can give input on:

I think this stuff is pretty easy in Flash and I did studied music in college,

not math or computer sci. If you know Lingo I'm sure you'll get actionscript.

Just a lot of lengthy if/then statements.

No sweat. Easier than the web. Once you declare a variable the thing is

remembered.

Performance issues. Will the Flash movie be giant and bog down little

processors.



Hope that helps a little anyway,
