Re: Which is better? Flash/Real or Director

[Wayne Townsend]

Hi John, thanks for chiming in...


It's better to really visualize this, so I put up three screen shots in

flash at

http://www.webstaffing.net/tpot.html

Not sure I understand you.  Do it all in html?  Why would I?

No, I need to do it in flash or director because I want to reproduce the

interactive environment on the CD. (see the screen shots)

The video, as you'll see from the screen shots, is *the* main element of

the CD.

There's a lot of video.  They demonstrate the massage technique. And it has

to stream well.  So I guess I'm leaning towards using flash for the menu

screens - ie. the whole website aspect, and poping up a Real window for the

video clips & background music/narration.


Does this sound feasible?


The original idea was to create a demo of the CD on the web for marketing

purposes.  But now, we're leaning towards putting the whole thing on the

web.  In other words, a *web application*.  Skip the CD distribution costs;

let 'em buy it and *use* it directly from the web.


Has anyone else done a real web application like this?
