Will this thread ever die:)
<minirant>
I still say you have to be an avid Director user to understand how valuable
a tool it is.Once you get the concept of OOP and behaviors Director will set
you free:) I haven't found too much I have not been able to accomplish with
Director. To compare Director to anything out there is not realistic.
The only thing mTropolis ever had that was valuable were behaviors and pre
Director 6.5 it had a step up on QTVR,but isn't that product no longer
sold.....oh yeah Quark killed it:)
The power behind Director is well worth the price on both platforms.
</minirant>
Please read JD's initial post he put it better than I ever can,but you get
my point here.
Thanks,
Michael
